ArmInfo. From the very  beginning of the announcement of quarantine, a rapid response  headquarters was created at the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant and an  action plan to prevent the spread of coronavirus was adopted.  The  headquarters pays special attention to the entrance, dining room and  office space. In particular, a marking is applied on the floor on the  entrance to ensure social distance. The entire staff of the station  received instructions on the prevention of infection with COVID-19.  

According to the press service of the ANPP, the events begin even  before arriving at the station - the minibus that brought the  employees to work was replaced with a large bus where passengers can  maintain a social distance. Upon arrival at the station, each  employee at the entrance must measure the temperature, and if it is  above 37 degrees, then he is not allowed to enter the territory.   During the shift, all employees re-measured the temperature.  

According to the head of the ANPP shift, Artak Navasardyan, for the  quarantine period, entry to the station is prohibited for all  non-full-time employees, business trips are canceled, a 12-hour  schedule for work shifts is established, and all meetings are held  via internal communication without personal contact. The ANPP  employees are provided with the necessary personal protective  equipment - medical masks, gloves, and disinfectants.  Premises and  vehicles during the day are also disinfected, and some twice a day.   All objects that we come into contact with at work:  telephones,  tables, door handles, etc., must be treated with a disinfectant.   Also, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus in a large team and  to isolate operational personnel as much as possible, additional  measures have been introduced: access to the Block control panel is  limited for so-called "day staff", whether it is a director, chief  engineer or workshop head>.  The head of the administrative and  economic department of the ANPP, Susanna Avetisyan, adds that in  March it was decided that employees who can perform their duties from  home were transferred to a remote mode of operation. Thanks to the  taken preventive measures, no cases of infection with the COVID-19  virus were recorded at the Armenian NPP. The station operates in a  safe mode and continues to generate electricity in the prescribed  amount>.
