Pashinyan tested for coronavirus for the third time

ArmInfo. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan passed the third coronavirus test. The prime minister personally announced this during a live broadcast on Facebook.

Pashinyan recalled that earlier technical shots of his preparation  for a live broadcast on the Public Television on April 17 appeared on  the network, where he coughs and drinks water. Calling this situation  shameful, and the reaction of some citizens to the working moments of  preparing for the broadcast shocking, the prime minister noted that  due to coughing, he had to pass the coronavirus test for the third  time, which gave a negative result.

To note, the "leak" of technical shots into the network caused a real  scandal, because, as noted in the Government apparatus, the Public  Television of Armenia did not have the right to give TV channels  access to these working moments. For its part, Public Television  announced its readiness to bear responsibility for this incident,  also informing that 8 television companies - "Armenia-TV'',"  Shant-TV'', "Mir>," Second Armenian TV Channel, , <AR>, <Kentron>,  <Yerkir-Media> and <5th channel>. used the open access channel for  broadcasting. To recall, the first time Pashinyan and his wife Anna  Hakobyan passed the coronavirus test after the March visit of  Hakobyan to Brazil, since one of the presidential staff was  subsequently identified with a coronavirus. The results of the first  test were negative, but later it turned out that Pashinyan was in  contact with a resident of Meghri, who also had COVID-19. In this  regard, the prime minister in mid-March passed the second test, which  was also negative. To date, a total of 1339 cases of coronavirus have  been confirmed in Armenia, 580 people have recovered, 737 patients  are receiving actual treatment, and 22 died.
