Russians told whether to go to work during illness

Some Russians continue to go to work during illness, even if they feel bad, runny nose and cough. This was discovered by KP.RU through research.

So, in readiness to go to work with illness admitted 37% of respondents. They said they would not take sick leave even in high fever or other serious symptoms. Russians consider themselves too responsible to stay home on sick leave, and do not worry about the possible infection of colleagues. In addition, they are afraid of financial problems that may arise after the registration of the hospital.

At the same time, 13% of respondents said that in case of infection, SARS will switch to remote work.

Only 43%, if sick, always take sick leave or ask for work. They care about their own health, as well as the health of others.

Another 7% chose the “other” option and explained that during the illness they are guided by circumstances.

1.8 thousand people took part in the survey.

Doctor Roger Henderson said it was a mistake not to take sick leave for a cold or flu. He also did not recommend going to the office immediately after symptoms eased.

Also, the Russians were warned against switching to remote work with SARS.
