The building of nuclear subs and other naval vessels takes no break despite the increasingly serious virus situation in Severodvinsk.

Approximately 43 percent of all infections in the region of Arkhangelsk are registered in Severodvinsk, regional authorities recently announced.

That indicates that there now are more than 2,000 cases in the city.

The lion’s share of the people infected are affiliated with Sevmash and Zvezdochka, the two naval yards.

Despite the introduction of protective measures, the virus has continued to spread among the local population of about 180,000.

Only over the last week, more than 320 new cases have been registered in town, most of them among the shipbuilders, a statistics overview shows.

...

There are about 30,000 employees at the Sevmash, while the Zvezdochka has about 11,000 workers.

While the Zvezdochka engages primarily in vessel repair and upgrades, the Sevmash builds the nuclear submarines. At the moment, there are at least eight new vessels under construction on site, among them four Borey-class and four Yasen-class subs.

So (anti)social distancing and masks aren’t working inside submarines.

...and 3 months from now, the entire region will be immune and back to normal building nuclear submarines, while here, we’ll be still locking down on and off for the next 9 months.

And Fearpers here will be cheering, posting while wearing surgical gloves, masks, and plastic face shields because you just can’t be too careful.

They may not release that information. It is still Russia, after all.

Russia treats their troops like crap.
Physically abused, these troops don’t give a damn.
