“Every day on flights there are more and more people with symptoms of the virus, we already have sick crew members with confirmed COVID-19, and a huge amount of quarantine after contacts,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

As noted, Pobeda suspended all its flights from April 1 to May 31, which, according to the company, will allow it to concentrate resources on the anti-crisis program and preparations for the resumption of flights.

Starting March 27, Russia completely stopped regular and charter flights, except for flights for the export of Russians.

Earlier in Roscosmos reported that four employees of the rocket and space industry detected COVID-19.
