Employees of an advanced age have the choice of working from home or taking a paid vacation or quarantine leave until 30 April 2020. The end date could change, based on how the situation develops.

Mikhail Arkhipov, NLMK Group Vice President, HR and Management System, said:

“We are committed to making sure that our older employees stay home, since they are the most vulnerable to COVID-19.
