The company said that they were aware of the fact of discontent among the workers of the GazArtStroy contracting organization, which is involved in continuing to develop the Chayandinskoye field.

It is noted that about 30 contracting organizations are involved in the work. 

“The issues of ensuring their activities, including compliance with the requirements of regulatory authorities in the current epidemiological situation, are exclusively in the competence of the leadership of these organizations,” TASS quoted the company as saying.

The Prosecutor General’s Office took control of the verification process after information appeared in the media about numerous cases of coronavirus in the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia. The prosecutor’s office is checking the data “on inadequate living conditions for personnel, the need for their evacuation, and the lack of personal protective equipment against the virus”.
