A nurse has been disciplined for wearing “lingerie” beneath her protective gown while treating coronavirus patients – after claiming she was “too hot”.
Her revealing picture went viral after being taken by a Covid-19 patient in a male ward in Tula, south of Russian capital Moscow.
The unnamed nurse in her 20s told her managers at Tula Regional Clinical Hospital that she didn't realise the PPE was so transparent.
She also claimed she was “too hot” wearing the uniform. Despite this, the regional health ministry reported that “a disciplinary sanction was applied to the nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated (uniform) requirements”.
