According to him, even 100 people can die, which means that they will have to reintroduce the most stringent restrictions. "But we have the opportunity not to do this, and this is the personal responsibility of each of us," Pashinyan said.
He called for compliance with all the rules established by the Deputy Prime Minister, commandant of the state of emergency Tigran Avinyan.
<Maintain social distance on an individual level and communicate with each other only if you have masks. I still see people in the streets talking directly to each other, as if nothing had happened. I urge you not to touch your face with your hands continuously, not to touch each other without masks. When communicating without a mask, keep a sufficient distance and use only disinfected dishes. We have the opportunity to prevent such a development of events. It depends on the individual behavior of each of us. At the same time, this behavior is aimed primarily at protecting family members, and no one can guarantee what can happen in the event of an outbreak>, he said.
