This is why we timely introduced a special mode of work: isolated work for production personnel and remote work for office personnel, and hygienic requirements are strictly followed at all sites. I am confident that each person’s responsible attitude to compliance with the quarantine measures will help our country to tackle this challenge’, — noted Ihor Shchurov.
