Muscovites with SARS will be able to remotely apply for sick leave

In Moscow, patients with symptoms of SARS from January 28 will be able to remotely consult a DOCTOR and open a sick leave, according to the website of the Moscow Mayor.

“To do this, you need to send an application using an electronic form on the mos.ru portal, after which a doctor will contact the patient. He will conduct a consultation, issue an electronic prescription for medicines and automatically open a sick leave for SARS for seven days. The closure of the sick leave will also take place remotely,” said Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of the capital.

Consultations of doctors will be carried out by phone. But if the patient wants to come for a face-to-face examination, this possibility also remains. You can get to the doctor on duty without making an appointment and calling the clinic, but also by making an appointment at the right time on the mos.ru or EMIAS.info portal. In addition, a doctor can be called at home by calling 122.

The closure of sick leave will also take place remotely after a doctor calls the patient. Documents to the place of work or study will be sent automatically.

Those who have been in contact with those infected with covid-19  and went on sick leave due to quarantine will also be able to close it automatically. Previously, the period of such quarantine was reduced to seven days.
