ArmInfo. The number of patients with coronavirus in Armenia keeps growing
As the head of the RA Ministry of Health Arsen Torosyan said on his Facebook page, the results of 38 more tests for coronavirus were obtained, two of which gave a positive result. "Patients with a positive test are epidemiologically related to the incident in Etchmiadzin and were initially isolated," the minister said. Thus, at present, 15 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Armenia, however, only one patient has pneumonia.
Note that 8 cases of coronavirus are associated with the infamous engagement in Echmiadzin, where an Armenian citizen who came from Milan became the carrier of the virus. Earlier, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan informed that the woman arrived in Armenia from Italy on February 29, was taken under control, however, despite repeated calls by health workers, she refused to undergo an examination, hiding her symptoms from them. The Prime Minister emphasized that at present there are no legal mechanisms in Armenia that would allow conducting a medical examination on a compulsory basis, however, given the situation in Etchmiadzin, this issue can be resolved. In total, about 100 citizens were isolated due to engagement in Echmiadzin.
