Anti-coronavirus measures in Armenia

• Why has Armenia become the regional leader in coronavirus deaths?

According to official information, 3,855 cases of infection were detected in Dagestan, of which 65 people died. But these figures are clearly false.

According to official information, more than 800 people have died from pneumonia since the beginning of the epidemic, there has never been such a mortality from this disease in the republic. Doctors and activists say that the actual number of deaths is much greater, and we are talking about thousands.

Understatement of statistics, in turn, led to a catastrophic shortage of drugs distributed from Moscow based on official statistics on morbidity and mortality.

A desperate video was published by the deputy of the Dagestan

parliament Ferzilah Islamov. He says in this video that the level of medicine in Dagestan is so low that he chose to take his mother with pneumonia to treatment in Stavropol. “The real numbers [of dying from the virus] are horrific. Corruption and nepotism made the level of medicine unacceptable. What to do to a simple person who has no connections and an opportunity to be treated in other places? ”

Начни с себя!!! Я не конечно же не обобщаю! В нашей республике очень много талантливых медработников, которые трудятся в очень сложных условиях. Ценой своей жизни, они пытаются помочь людям, респект им и уважение!!! Я за ситуацию в целом, за принципы отбора, за принципы превосходства! Я за один принцип- достоин или не достоин! Живите долго и счастливо!
