The republic’s Ministry of Construction does not see alarming messages regarding the future.  The support of the authorities of Tatarstan during the pandemic played a significant role in maintaining the position of the construction industry.  This was stated by the Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Farit Khanifov at an online conference with reporters.  “Coronavirus and the fall of oil prices, of course, would severely affect us all if we did not have an airbag.  Rarely, what subject of Russia can boast of more than 50 programs.  This, of course, is incomparable support,” - he said.  Today, the republic maintains synchronous work of federal, national and regional projects for the construction of facilities.  “I don’t see any disturbing messages, but I admit that the construction of some objects will be postponed until 2021.  However, this will affect only a small part,” - the minister said.

Now citizens of other countries do not work at construction sites of Tatarstan. The directive on the corresponding restrictions was sent to all construction companies of the republic, the head of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan, Farit Khanifov, said at an online conference with reporters. “In many regions, the construction complex consists almost entirely of a nonresident. There were attempts to maintain working camps somehow, to implement sanitary and epidemiological measures. I don’t know how they did it,” - he said. “The republic monitors the workforce daily, we do not have a shortage of workers at construction sites,” - the minister added.

This was stated by the Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Farit Khanifov. “We understand, the country's leadership understands that the construction industry is the locomotive of many industries and one of the main employers. 83 thousand builders work in the republic, and at the height of the summer season, these numbers are increasing. The decision to continue the construction industry in Tatarstan was not easy, the head of the republican department noted. Cooperation with the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Health of the Republic gave a positive result - were prepared manuals for industry workers. “These actions were timely, which played a role. While the construction industry is staying strong,” - the head of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan said.
