AKIPRESS.COM - Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov today held the emergency meeting of the nation-wide operative team for coronavirus containment.

"Spike in new coronavirus cases and pneumonia is observed in Batken and Osh regions, Bishkek. This spike is rather high. Photos and videos from meetings of political parties with electors are spread across social media. Mask and social distancing requirements are not met at those events. Cafes and restaurants do not comply with the prohibition to hold mass events. Checks of public catering places are carried out not to sufficient degree. Crowded places are source of coronavirus outbreaks. Governors of regions and districts are responsible for epidemiological situation within their jurisdictions. This is why it is necessary to tighten control over observance of COVID-19 protocols," PM Boronov said.
The operative team discussed resumption of work of daytime and nighttime in-patient facilities, mobile teams. It was announced at the meeting that medical services should be prepared for resumption of work when necessary.
