“I have a positive attitude towards this initiative. It is necessary to support medical and social workers in every possible way; one cannot spare anything. For people, professional recognition is important, because in the professional community such awards are very highly valued, delivered individually. I am in favor of encouraging physicians, to make them feel the special attention of the state for their high efforts, ”the senator believes.

Earlier, a draft resolution was submitted to the State Duma, according to which medical workers involved in the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19 will receive departmental awards.

Deputies will also consider the possibility of providing sanatorium-resort treatment to doctors working with patients with COVID-19.
