A day earlier, Arminfo reported that the number of confirmed cases of patients with coronavirus in Armenia increased by three people and reached four. The night before, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that of the three new cases, two were infected - Armenian citizens (45 and 27 years old), and one more - an Italian citizen (51 years old) working in our country. All of them arrived in Armenia from Italy. Two citizens have no health complaints, but the third has fever and right-sided pneumonia. Now, according to Pashinyan, a circle of people with whom the sick were in contact is being determined to isolate them. Recall that earlier in the country only one confirmed case of coronavirus infection was detected in a 29- year-old citizen who arrived from Armenia from Iran on February 29. The patient feels well. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called on all countries to step up their efforts to fight against coronavirus immediately. "I urge all governments to mobilize and intensify their efforts right now, because this crisis affects everyone, everyone should make a contribution," he said. According to him, the most accurate scientific evidence indicates that if countries detect, test, treat, isolate and track cases, their spread can be slowed down.
