U.S. embassy in Turkmenistan recommends citizens to decline any injections over coronavirus

AKIPRESS.COM - The U.S. Embassy provided an update on Coronavirus (COVID-19) measures in Turkmenistan.
"The U.S. Embassy is not aware of any known cases of novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Turkmenistan. However, the Government of Turkmenistan has announced that citizens of all countries in which there are confirmed cases of COVID-19, or travelers who have recently visited a country with confirmed cases-which includes the United States-will be subject to initial medical examination at border checkpoints and ports of entry, and may be required to undergo additional medical screening and possibly quarantine for an unspecified period of time before being allowed into the country. Travelers will be required to pay for any medical tests and procedures," the statement said.
The U.S. Embassy recommends that its citizens decline any invasive medical procedures, such as blood draws, as we cannot guarantee that all medical protocols comply with U.S. standards, the embassy noted.
Travelers should be prepared for changes in screening and quarantine practices to be put into effect with little or no advance notice.
