Over 700 citizens in COVID-19 red zones have not voted in Kyrgyzstan

AKIPRESS.COM - More than 700 patients and medical workers remain in COVID-19 red zone, Central Election Commission Vice Chairman Abdyjapar Bekmatov told a briefing today.
"Safety of people is number one priority. We have not encountered such situation before. Only members of polling station commissions could collect votes, but we can't put their health at risk," Bekmatov said.
Citizens who are treated at home could visit polling stations to vote if they could, he said.
The Central Election Commission earlier asked voters with coronavirus symptoms to come to polling stations after 6.00 p.m.
