A nurse from the Tula region in southern Moscow gained instant online fame after a photo of herself in lingerie wearing a transparent protective dress.

Local media (via The Moscow Times) reported that the nurse appeared in lingerie "because there was heat from the protective clothing." The Rossiiskaya newspaper reported that the unidentified nurse works in the red area of the hospital where patients with coronavirus are treated.

"Men didn't mind wearing anything," said Newstula.ru. However the hospital department undertook a disciplinary action in the form of a reprimand for breach of dress code.

The photo also served to criticize the health authorities, as the protective equipment should not be made of transparent materials as the pieces should be completely different.
