Health Minister Arsen Torosyan spoke live on Facebook on 14 March about the situation with coronavirus.

The Minister positively assessed the fact that two new cases were confirmed today, 14 March, have been confirmed by already isolated citizens. As another positive news, he said that almost everyone in Echmiadzin and the people who interacted with them at the famous Etchmiadzin ceremony are isolated. He expressed hope that there would be no cases of isolation, that the disease would not be confirmed. “Even if confirmed, they are already isolated and we can say that the contacts after the first patient and almost all the contacts after them are known.”

“To date we have approximately 200 people isolated in various ways, both in a separate settlement and in a completely isolated building. The logic is the following: isolated people must have had a close contact with the patient with an approved decision,” he said.
