According to him, since May 9, the number of patients recovered daily exceeds the number of cases.
“Since the beginning of March, 6.5 thousand people have been infected in the Armed Forces, more than 4300 of them have already been discharged,” RIA Novosti quotes Shoigu.
At the same time, he noted that outbreaks of coronavirus in military units were avoided due to the timely implementation of a package of measures and systematic round-the-clock monitoring of the operational headquarters for their implementation.
Shoigu added that all personnel are regularly tested for COVID-19.
