ArmInfo.Our omission was that we allowed a citizen in isolation to attend the funeral. The Minister of Health of Armenia Arsen Torosyan stated this in an interview with Radio Azatutyun (RFE/RL's Armenian Service - Ed. note). He noted that after this incident, such practice was discontinued. "After a 14-day quarantine expires, as a rule, 10-15% of our compatriots have a coronavirus detected," Torosyan emphasized.
According to the minister, in all 27 places of self-isolation, police and 5-10 paramedics are on duty. Most places of self-isolation are located in Tsaghkadzor, about 10 in Yerevan, and the rest in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Tavush regions.
It should be noted that one of the Armenian citizens who returned from Russia took part in the funeral in Norashen, however, he did not maintain social distance, as a result, the entry and exit from the village was temporarily closed.
