WHO WILL CONTINUE WORKING DURING THE QUARANTINE PERIOD?

A month-long weekend regime is a challenge not only for the employees, having a self-isolation period, but also for their employers and the economy as a whole. However, there are areas of activity, the suspension of which will lead to greater problems than a pandemic.

From the very beginning of the non-working day announcements, many enterprises such as power plants, thermal power plants, garbage collection enterprises, public transport, grocery stores, pharmacies and state institutions, continued their activities.

From April 6, the entire categories of companies that are entitled to continue their activity in compliance with sanitary standards or due to the need in safe transportation of employees to and from the workplaces, will appear in the regions. Some organizations will start working remotely.
