With all responsibility and once and for all, I declare that my mother, who is the head of the Echmiadzin Infectious Disease Unit, has never examined the first case of a new coronavirus infection that is the woman in question. The Mayor of Echmiadzin Diana Gasparyan stated this.

“Finally stop misleading the public in this situation and try to undermine their faith in state and local authorities.

On Tuesday, the woman complained to the “Vagharshapat” Hospital CJSC, undergoing a check-up with a doctor-therapist and radiologist. She was immediately diagnosed with pneumonia. The therapist TELEPHONED and informed the signs to the head of the infectious disease department to my mother (the administrative building of the infection department is located on the other side of the city). Upon learning of the symptoms and the fact that the citizen had arrived from Italy, my mother immediately directed her to the “Nork” Infectious Disease department.

I repeat, my mother has NEVER examined the woman infected with the new coronavirus, moreover she has not directed her to go home,” she said.
