Nurse reprimanded for wearing bikini under transparent PPE

A nurse in Russia has been given a telling-off for 'non-compliance with the requirements 
of medical clothing.

The unnamed nurse who is in her 20s was pictured in a coronavirus ward for male 
patients in Tula,120 miles south of Moscow,and the picture was spotted online by 
her bosses.

She was called in for a meeting where she said she was too hot wearing her normal 
uniform underneath the see-through plastic PPE she had been given. She also said 
she didn't realise how transparent the PPE was.

The regional health ministry said that 'a disciplinary sanction was applied to the 
nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated (uniform) requirements'.

A patient said there was no objection to her attire but there had been some 'embarrassment'.

Responding to local newspaper reports,readers said that she had shown a sense of 
humour while another woman said she had raised the patients mood.

The exact nature of her reprimand is unknown.

According to Worldometer, Russia has had 308,705 infections from coronavirus 
with 2,972 deaths  and 85,392 recoveries.

Some fear the statistics have been downplayed by authorities.
