MOSCOW (MRC) --- 76% of employees have antibodies to COVID-19 at Tomskneftekhim, the press service of the enterprise reports.
Nevertheless, at the Tomsk enterprises of SIBUR, a mandatory mask regime remains, as well as the need to observe social distance in personal interaction and other measures to prevent infection with COVID-19.
The press service of the enterprise notes that the collective immunity at Tomskneftekhim has developed from people who have had COVID-19, including asymptomatic ones, as well as vaccinated employees. Before the start of the mass vaccination against COVID-19 in Tomsk, all employees of Tomskneftekhim were tested for antibodies. SIBUR, as a responsible employer, contributes to providing employees with the maximum information to make an informed and balanced decision, as well as to provide them with the opportunity to get vaccinated.
"Testing of all employees of the enterprise for antibodies allowed us to collect information on the share of herd immunity. There are those who want to vaccinate. And our key task is to help them organizationally. Special thanks to the employees of the enterprise who have shown concern for their own health and the health of their colleagues. Despite the achieved results, the enterprise continues to operate a set of anti-virus measures aimed at creating a safe working environment for personnel, "says Vladimir Pleshkov, General Director of Tomskneftekhim.
Collective immunity of more than 70% belongs to two Tomsk enterprises of SIBUR: Tomskneftekhim and the R&D center NIOST. "Creating a safe work environment is a priority for the employer. As for employees, the degree of personal responsibility to themselves and their loved ones is more important than ever. NIOST's collective immunity is 73%," says Olga Khovanskaya, NIOST executive director.
