The Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs proposed to refuse from the covid regime with 60% collective immunity

The Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs turned with the proposal to the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova. The RUIE believes that it is worth canceling measures to contain coronavirus infection at those enterprises where the immunity of the workforce has reached the level of 60% and above.

"Supplement clause 4.4 with the following paragraph: These measures are applied until population (collective) immunity to coronavirus (60% or more) is achieved, including at the level of individual labor collectives", - representatives of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs ask Popova.

The letter, quoted by RIA Novosti, says that the Russian business community, "realizing the importance of vaccination, is taking a proactive position in promoting the vaccination campaign for its workers," and "a number of industrial companies have already achieved a high level of population immunity in their teams".

The RUIE noted that companies are obliged to comply with sanitary requirements, including because "the lack of differentiation in the application of preventive requirements significantly hinders the motivation of workers to get vaccinated".

It's worth reminding that Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to extend the May holidays in the country to reduce the spread of coronavirus infection. At the same time, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the additional days off introduced in Russia between the May holidays will not be mandatory for all enterprises.
