In order to prevent the spread of a new coronavirus infection in the Russian Federation and to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the Russian population, as well as in order to take measures to implement the rights of citizens to protect health, the Russian Government decided to approve the Temporary Rules for Handling Sick-Leaves in the Event of Quarantine.
Employers in Tatarstan should suspend employees from work in case of increased temperature. It is also necessary to install dispensers with disinfectants for hand-washing. It is recommended to provide free access for employees to places for washing their hands, organise body temperature measurements, assist employees in observing self-isolation at home, and review travel schedules for employees to regions with an unfavourable situation.
People arriving from countries with the most disadvantaged coronavirus situations (China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, France, Germany) should self-insulate at home for two weeks from the moment they return. A sick-leave can be get without contacting a medical institution, the republic’s government said.
Those who return from abroad are also strongly recommended to call the hotline: +7 (843) 296-02-24 or +7 (843) 231-20-70 for seeking medical help at home when symptoms of the disease appear.
Last week Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov introduced special sanitary and anti-epidemiological regime on the republic’s territory. It will be valid until April 15. It provides for a number of restrictions when conducting events that involve a large numbers of people. International sporting events were postponed until a more favourable epidemiological situation. Sports matches (regular games) will be held without the participation of spectators, and cultural events have been postponed to a later date.
The Ministry opened a hotline to address problems with the supply of essential goods, unfounded price increases, problems in the sales of finished products, etc.: +7 (843) 210-05-77, +7 (917) 264-13-27 (WhatsApp).
