ArmInfo. Due to coronavirus citizens who returned to Armenia after visiting Italy, France,  Germany, Spain, Japan, China, Iran and South Korea must be  self-insulated for 14 days. The head of the RA Ministry of Health  Arsen Torosyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.

 <Based on the situation caused by the new COVID-19 coronavirus in the world, we  urge you to avoid traveling to the above countries, and when  traveling on business trips, do this only if absolutely necessary.   Citizens returning from these countries should spend 14 days avoiding  contact and isolating themselves, and employers should provide them  with remote work from home. It is also necessary to avoid organizing  international events in Armenia with the participation of people who  arrived from these countries>, he noted.

If in the last 14 days after returning to Armenia, fever, cough and  shortness of breath have developed, you need to call the working  numbers around the clock 060 83 83 83 00 or 8003.

<We also urge to avoid contact with patients with respiratory  infections, in case of impossibility to use personal protective  equipment (masks). Frequent hand washing lasting at least 20 seconds  is also necessary, especially before eating. If you have flu  symptoms, do not self-medicate, but consult a doctor>, - said  Torosyan.

We add that to date, one case of coronavirus has been detected in  Armenia. The patient himself, as well as 31 isolated citizens, feel  good.
