The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed his deputy to work out this issue, RIA Novosti reports.

According to the press service of the department, at a meeting with Bastrykin, Deputy Chairman of the Investigative Committee Sergey Goryainov presented a report on the epidemiological situation, in which "an intensive increase in the incidence was again noted."

Since June, another increase in the number of people infected with coronavirus infection has begun in RUSSIA. Because of this, the regional authorities have introduced mandatory vaccination for certain categories of citizens, most often it concerns civil servants, employees of trade, catering, services, transport, and healthcare. According to the Ministry of Labor, dismissal for refusing to be vaccinated is not provided for in labor legislation, but such an employee can be temporarily suspended, and regions also have the right to decide whether to transfer employees to remote work.
