Maintaining the population’s ongoing supply is the most important consideration upon the selection of companies to which units of the Defence Control Division have been assigned for service, the Defence Minister’s administrative chief said at the Wednesday online press conference of the operational group responsible for the containment of the coronavirus infection.

Romulusz Ruszin said from Wednesday the number of vital companies to which units of the Defence Control Division have been assigned for service has increased from 71 to 84.

The selected companies play a key role in the production of oxygen and food supply, he said.
