May holidays have begun in RUSSIA, which this year are much longer than usual - they will last from May 1 to May 10. Earlier, Tatyana Golikova said that the additional days off would be paid by the employer.
This year, four days were added to the May holidays - from May 4 to May 7, when Vladimir Putin signed a decree on long holidays from May 1 to 10.
Putin made the decision on additional days off on April 23, the HEAD of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova came up with this idea. In her opinion, this will help reduce the number of cases of infection with CORONAVIRUS infection covid-19 .

“Our proposal is that these days should be continuous. If it were possible, this would make the epidemiological forecast more stable and, of course, give people the opportunity to relax, because everyone dreams of this vacation, ”Popova said at a meeting with Putin.
According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor, on May holidays people often travel out of town and back in public transport, migration flows within the country are increasing, which may further adversely affect the epidemiological situation in Russia. Putin supported the proposal and said that he listened to the opinion of experts. In past years, the weekend period was divided into two stages: first, the Russians rested because of the celebration of May 1, and then in connection with the celebration of Victory Day.
