For a patient with limited mobility or in case of a severe course of the disease, a house call is issued (sick leave in this case opens during the visit).

The operational headquarters also pays attention to cases of contact with a sick person with COVID-19, even if there are no symptoms of SARS. The sick leave will be opened if the sick person has a sick leave and the fact of contact was confirmed by his employer. In order for everything to work quickly, it is better to ask the sick person to report contact with you by filling out an electronic form.
