Citizens over the age of 60 who are not vaccinated against coronavirus infection and with chronic diseases must observe the self-isolation regime, Vladimir Chulanov, chief freelance specialist in infectious diseases of the Russian Ministry of Health, said in a conversation with RBC.
The specialist also recommended transferring employees to a remote work mode, especially older people and those with chronic diseases.

Chulanov noted that omicron infection can be severe, especially in previously unvaccinated people. Therefore, he urged people to get vaccinated, or, if 6 months or more have passed since vaccination or an illness, re-vaccination.
