There were 13 people in the men's palliative care department, of whom two died. The other 11 patients were evacuated to another department and then hospitalized to rule out possible carbon monoxide poisoning. If the patients' condition stabilizes, they plan to return them the next day, the vice-mayor added.
Victoria Mozgacheva also noted that fire safety drills involving the Ministry of Emergency Situations were conducted at the institution in July of last year, and no violations were found during these events. Currently, specialists will investigate the causes of the incident in the ward.
According to the vice-mayor, the major renovation of the main three-story building of the Nursing Home was completed in 2025.
