Before the beginning of the government session, the Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan said that yesterday we had a record in a bad sense, 771 new cases out of 2336 tests.

According to him, the situation remains tense.

“As of 09:00, we have 51 citizens who need to be taken to hospital, only 2 of them are at home. There are several vacant beds in the resuscitation departments. As such, we do not have a needy citizen who does not receive treatment, but that does not mean that the situation has improved. We have 502 citizens in critical condition and 113 in extremely critical condition, “he said.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that it is known that the number of infected people is several times higher.

The Minister noted that it is not possible to test everyone in one day, as the disease can be in a secret period. He also mentioned that Yerevan is becoming a major source of coronavirus.

“We used to have Shengavit and Malatia Sebastia active hotbeds, but now there is no such separation,” he said, adding that the infection is everywhere and should be protected with a mask, keeping a social distance and disinfecting hands.
