Coronavirus in the Caucasus. Armenia, PM: biggest problem is regulation violations

In total, 258 people have died since the start of the epidemic in Armenia.

612 new cases in the past day, in total, since the beginning of the epidemic, 15 281 have been infected, of which 5 639 have recovered.

In Armenia, the state of emergency was extended for another month – until July 13.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan insists that the biggest problem in Armenia is that the population does not sufficiently comply with the new rules of life: wearing a mask, disinfecting hands and social distance.

All four sick doctors are employees of the Republican Hospital in Tbilisi.

In total, 837 have been infected since the beginning of the epidemic in Georgia, of which 697 have recovered.

In total, 13 people have died since the start of the epidemic in Georgia.

Restrictions on quarantine in connection with the pandemic in Georgia began to be lifted from April 27. From June 15, Georgia plans to resume domestic tourism, and from July 1 to open borders and receive foreign tourists.

In total, 245 people have died since the start of the epidemic in Armenia.

566 new cases in the past day, in total, since the beginning of the epidemic, 14 669 have been infected, of which 5 466 have recovered.

Health minister Arsen Torasyan apologized on his Facebook page and said that “perhaps in different situations, we made delays in making different decisions.” He explains this by the fact that this is a new disease, and until now for all doctors there are still not fully clarified questions, including:

How long does the incubation period last?

Asymptomatic carriers do not spread the infection?

Does a mask help prevent the spread of infection?

Does the temperature affect the virus?

We must overcome all problems by being as honest as possible with people.”

In Armenia, 428 new cases of infection and 10 deaths per day.

In total, 227 people have died since the beginning of the epidemic in Armenia.

14 103 were infected, of which 5 226 recovered.

A large number of patients discharged from hospitals per day is due to the fact that on June 10, the period of self-isolation of those infected with COVID-19 who did not have symptoms ended.

The state of emergency in Armenia expires on June 13, but it is reported that the deadline will be postponed.

Journalist Demis Polandov published the following in Telegram channel Adyghe Haku – [Circassian Channel] (shortened version):

“Karachay-Cherkessia is burning. Poor people are taking care of their relatives, trying to get them into hospitals. But this is almost unrealistic. There are no beds. There are almost no doctors left either. The elderly are buried alone, and the relatives are informed later. Those who grew up in Caucasian culture know that for the elderly this is a terrible blow. Whoever comes to bury them, what fabric they are wrapped in – thoughts about this will live out their days. And then they just have to say without any hope: “Just not in a black plastic bag…”

People have fevers for weeks, and cannot bring down the temperature. They are sick along with their entire families, there is no one to cook food. People are sick in cities, and the coronavirus has come to the villages as well.

Young people sometimes die because they are not taken to hospitals. The Moscow gurus promised them “light form”. And their covid is not confirmed, most often, because they wait for results for 10 days.

They brought a young woman sealed in a black bag, and her mother buried her. And in the death certificate – hypertension. If there is hypertension, then why did you keep it in an infectious disease with COVID-19 patients? Why did they put her on mechanical ventilation? Mother didn’t even say goodbye to her […]

In Moscow, stadiums are equipped, they say. So help your regions if your beds are empty! Or did you open them for pictures on the TV ?! […]

Today in Uchkeken people took to the streets. People are in despair, they just abandoned them.”

According to official statistics, 1,729 were infected in Karachay-Cherkessia, nine of them died.

However, doctors and activists shout on social media that the data are underestimated many times, and we are actually talking about thousands of infected and hundreds of dead.

Karachay-Cherkessia is the smallest republic of the North Caucasus, less than 500,000 people live here.
