The resource-supplying organization of the ICP "Zhemchuzhnensky Housing and Utilities" issued an order to carry out sanitary-anti-epidemic (preventive) measures. In particular, they demanded to wash and disinfect the centralized drinking water supply system, and then check the quality and safety of water in the laboratory.
