Villagers oppose use of camp building as Covid-19 observation point

AKIPRESS.COM - Residents of Issyk-Kul village, Issyk-Kul region, oppose use of a former children's camp as observation point now, Turmush reported. Villagers say the camp building does not have sanitation facilities, water to quarantine people there.
But what makes them concerned most of all is lack of fencing around the building.
"The former camp lies in the center of the village. The building does not have any infrastructure now. The camp has outdoor toilet. We fear possible contacts and infection if people with coronavirus are held there," they said.
District governor Elchibek Jantaev said 27 people were held in the observation point up to date. Four more people were brought there today.
"We decided to prepare the camp building to serve as observation point. 200 beds were arranged there. When necessary this observation point will be used for other rural municipalities as well. People should not be concerned at all. All problems with toilets and water supply were resolved," the governor said.
Two residents of Issyk-Kul village were earlier taken to the observation point after they broke home quarantine. They included citizens who arrived from Turkey and Russia.
