The Moscow Times reports:
A paramedic who complained about being forced to work despite contracting coronavirus is in critical condition after he fell from a hospital window in western Russia this weekend, local media reported.
This is at least the third incident in which a Russian healthcare professional has plunged from a hospital building under mysterious circumstances in the past two weeks. The two previous doctors have died from their injuries.
Alexander Shulepov, 37, and his colleague filmed a video on April 22 complaining that the chief doctor of the Novaya Usman village hospital forced him to work despite the fact that he tested positive for Covid-19.
Russian authorities have confirmed 10,581 new coronavirus infections, bringing the total to 145,268.
It’s the second day running that they report over 10,000 new cases. Russia’s official infection figures now surpass those of China, Turkey, Iran
