ArmInfo.As is known only 11 cases of coronavirus infection were confirmed in Armenia on April 6, which in itself is a positive fact. Minister of Healthcare of Armenia Arsen Torosyan announced this on April 6 on his Facebook page.  He noted  that, however, all residents of Armenia should follow the  instructions of the commandant's office. 

<We must do everything possible to make this indicator even lower.  Last week, the figures were significantly higher. When we recorded a  figure of 92 people per day, we already knew who these citizens were,  and they were isolated. But you should not think that everything is  already behind>,  said Torosyan.  The minister said that you should  leave the house only in case of emergency if you go to the store or  pharmacy. According to him, then it will be possible to defeat the  virus.

<I would also like to report on the condition of our patients. Most  of them are doing well and have no fever.  But there are also  citizens who suffer from pneumonia, their number is 146 people. The  condition of 35 of them is serious, but while they are not in  intensive care, the condition of 8 people is extremely serious,  unfortunately one patient has died>, Torosyan emphasized.

The Minister also noted that those patients who have practically no  symptoms are in hotels under the supervision of doctors.

He also touched on the proper use of masks. <Masks in this case help  so that we do not touch the mouth or nose with our hands, because the  virus can not be transmitted by airborne droplets. If you touch the  surface that a person affected by a patient with a coronavirus  touched, then you can become infected>,  concluded Torosyan. 

It should be noted that a total of 833 confirmed cases of coronavirus  disease were noted in the republic, of which 763 were treated, 8  people died. The total number of recovered citizens is 62 people.
