For those over 65 and working, the state in this case pays for sick leave, so this is an important additional social support ... Self-isolation in in this case, it is compensated by the social insurance fund, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Self-isolation, which was previously introduced until January 15, is being extended “for at least another two weeks,” Nikitin added.
