Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, during a Facebook live video link, urged citizens to follow safety rules to reduce the likelihood of infection. He noted that there are thousands of people in the country who have no symptoms but, by not taking preventive measures, could infect those around them.
“The higher the number of infected, the higher the number of severe and especially severe patients, and the number of deaths also increases. The capacity of our healthcare system has grown and continues to grow, but if severe cases increase, then there will be no space left in hospitals.
In that case, we will be forced to return to a general ‘lockdown’, and life will come to a standstill with all its economic and social consequences,” said Nikol Pashinyan.
