A Russian nurse was disciplined for wearing only lingerie beneath a transparent protective gown while treating coronavirus patients. She is now afraid of losing her job after her images went viral.
But her colleagues and doctors as well as politicians in Russia have rushed to her defence, accusing hospital chiefs in the city of Tula of failing to provide her with a suitable PPE for working in a coronavirus ward.
It was reported that the medic, who has not been publicly identified reportedly told her bosses that she was 'too hot' wearing the uniform and didn't realise the PPE was so transparent.
The revealing picture was taken by a COVID-19 patient in a male ward in Tula, south of Russian capital Moscow.
