“Within a day, the organization's representative offices in more than 20 regions provided doctors and medical workers with special preferential conditions for visiting fitness clubs,” she said in a comment to TASS.
In addition, according to Silina, sports institutions have established a reduced tariff for all services of clubs - in total, the cost has decreased from 20% to 50%.
The first deputy chairman of the Public Chamber of the Leningrad Region, Vladimir Petrov, had previously turned to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin with a proposal to establish a new preferential category - “liquidators of the coronavirus pandemic”.
In addition, in January, Tatyana Kusayko, Deputy Chair of the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy, said that doctors who worked with COVID-19 infected doctors would have the opportunity to retire ahead of schedule.
