“In particular, a decision was made to minimize the presence of women serving in the Investigative Committee of Russia for the current week, until April 6,” the official representative of the department, Svetlana Petrenko, said.

Measures are also aimed at making it possible to monitor children and control their self-isolation regime.

“For other employees of the Investigative Committee this week, restrictions on presence at workplaces will also be introduced with the establishment of a special duty schedule,” added the UK.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee denied reports appearing in messengers that the department allegedly temporarily stops working because of the danger of the spread of coronavirus.
