“By the new order of the Commandant, from 1 April, from 14:00 until 12 April, the restrictions on certain types of movement and economic activity due to a new type of coronavirus have been extended.

Accordingly,

Today, at 14:00 a number of checkpoints operate at the entrances of a number of settlements in the region and on the Yerevan-Sevan highway.

I have toured several checkpoints operating in the region and have been following up on activities.

We would like to inform that our partners of the RA Police, Military Police, National Security Service are checking the motives of our citizens with the support of the marzpetaran units, regional health care workers and local government representatives. Thermometry and other necessary actions are performed.

Once again, I urge you to take with you a completed movement form and a personal identification document, which should be presented to police officers (one sheet for each movement), and a specimen form completed by the employer as you go to work..

At the same time, I urge you to strictly follow all the instructions of the Commandant’s Office and leave the house only in case of extreme need.

Be healthy.”
