DUSHANBE, 22.06.2021 (NIAT Khovar) – Yesterday, Prime Minister Kohir Rasulzoda chaired a meeting of the Republican COVID-19 Prevention Commission.

The meeting analyzed the current situation in Tajikistan, the region and the world, the reservation and storage of medicines and disinfectants, strengthening measures to improve the quality of medical services, and cooperation of the commission members.

The commission informs citizens that at present, cases of coronavirus infection have been recorded in the country’s health care institutions.

According to experts, the main reason for the next outbreak of the disease is negligence, non-compliance with certain deadlines for self-defense of citizens returning from abroad, other recommendations, as well as the failure to use masks.

In this regard, each resident is required to strictly follow the recommendations of specialists in this area, not to go anywhere unnecessarily, to use masks in public places, and use disinfectants.

The commission once again brings the attention of citizens to the fact that only by following the recommendations of medical specialists and with the support of residents, it is possible to prevent the spread of any disease.

It was noted that, unfortunately, recently the population of Tajikistan has shown carelessness in this regard.

It should be noted that in connection with the new wave of the outbreak in a number of countries, the activities of service centers, celebrations and ceremonies, walking on boulevards, squares and places where too many people constantly gather, the movement of public vehicles are restricted, and quarantine has been announced.

In this regard, the commission has taken appropriate decisions, including to strengthen coordination of the activities of the relevant ministries and departments to control the observance of the rules of personal and public hygiene by the population, control service and cultural centers, taking strict preventive and anti-epidemic measures, observing sanitary and hygienic rules, preventing and countering the epidemic during celebrations and ceremonies, as well as taking the necessary measures during international flights to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection.
