Kazakhstan announced the military mobilization of the civilian military population.

The critical situation with the spread of coronavirus infection in Kazakhstan forced the authorities of this state to announce the beginning of military mobilization of citizens. The reasons are rooted in the need to set up checkpoints in especially important areas, to protect especially important facilities in the country, to sanitize the area, and to conduct patrols in settlements and large cities. All persons under the age of 50 (up to 60 years for officers) are subject to conscription from the reserve.

“The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, has signed a decree calling on military servicemen to special camps, the presidential press service said. "In accordance with subparagraph 11) of paragraph 2 of article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 7, 2005" On Defense and Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan "I decide: to call up military servicemen for special gatherings for staffing the territorial forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan," the statement reads Thursday text of the decree. By agreement with the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the local executive bodies of the capital, cities of republican significance and regions have been instructed to organize and ensure that conscripts are called up for special charges through the relevant local military command bodies, determining the number of conscripted and the dates for special charges. The decree comes into force from the day of its first official publication ”- сообщает "Inbusiness.kz".

Given the actual mobilization of those in the reserve, experts suggested that the situation with the spread of infection in the territory of a neighboring state may be critical, although according to current data, we are talking only about 435 infected, with an 18 million population of this country.
