A nurse on an all-male coronavirus ward in Russia has been disciplined for only wearing 'lingerie' beneath her transparent protective gown.
Her revealing picture went viral after being taken by a patient at a hospital in Tula, 100 miles south of Moscow, who said there were 'no complaints' from his bedfellows.
But hospital chiefs were not amused and punished the nurse for 'non-compliance with the requirements for medical clothing'.
Another supporter said: 'Everyone shouted at her, but no one paid attention that she was dressed in this way because of the heat.
'Maybe you need to yell at the management … because there is no normal air conditioning here.'
A woman commenter Marina Astakhova posted: 'Well done, she raised the mood of the patients.'
And Valery Kapnin wrote: 'Why punish the nurse, you need to reward her. 'Seeing this outfit, no-one wants to die.'
The incident came as the head of Russia's Covid-19 monitoring centre, a former TV doctor, Alexander Myasnikov, shocked viewers with his blunt speaking on the coronavirus crisis.
'The infection will anyway take its toll,' he said. 'It'll take its toll. 'We will anyway all get sick.
'Those who were supposed to die will die.'
By Tuesday, Russia had a total of 299,941 cases of infection, with an official death toll of 2,837.
Many experts believe the Russian statistics underscore the true level of fatalities. Officially, Tula has had 2,637 infections with 19 deaths.
