Russians from different walks of life, struggle to work remotely amid the coronavirus outbreak

Russians from many walks of life, including Bolshoi ballet dancers, musicians and a mixed martial arts trainer, are struggling to adapt to self-isolation because of the coronavirus outbreak.

As the coronavirus outbreak has engulfed Russia, President Vladimir Putin has ordered a partial economic shutdown and authorities across the vast country have introduced strict quarantine measures.

Officials in Moscow and other regions have ordered most people except those working in essential sectors to stay home through April 30.

Residents are only allowed to shop at nearby food stores and pharmacies, walk their dogs and remove trash.

The shutdown has driven many businesses to the verge of collapse and made millions jobless, according to estimates.

Here are some examples of people finding new ways to keep working:

BOLSHOI BALLET

Principal dancers Maria Alexandrova and Vladislav Lantratov are rehearsing their parts online. Regular training is essential for the profession that that requires daily practice.

PARALYMPIC ATHLETE
