Tengiz oilfield extends quarantine regime
The anti-epidemic measures, including wearing face masks, social distancing, sanitary and disinfection regimes, have been tightened.
Given that the production process at the Tengiz oilfield proceeds, a list of workers entering the oilfield will be make out in advance. They take a test and self-isolate five days ahead of their shift. They can proceed to work on the sixth day once their results returns negative.
The same goes for those leaving the oilfield: tests are taken at the expense of the employer, then, employees have to self-isolate for 5 days. In case the test returns negative, they can leave upon condition of self-isolating at home for 14 days.
Pursuant to the chief medical officer's order, employees of the Tengiz oilfield are subject to COVID-19 PCR tests.
Roadblocks around the oilfield as well as restrictions remain in place.
