“In our village, all residents are infected. A woman died yesterday, she had the flu and pneumonia. But doctors refused to hospitalize. In the end, she gasped and died. We are sure that this is a coronavirus infection. Ambulance doctors are afraid to come to us – they are not provided with basic means of protection. No one helps. We have a complete mess.

At the same time, people are transporting sand from our quarry on Kamaz trucks and spreading the infection in the area, as the carriers themselves. We are sure that the virus is already walking in neighboring villages.

No officials are reacting. There is nothing in pharmacies. Help”

• Georgia – is mass testing necessary?

Most priests and believers in Russia actively resisted quarantine and did not close churches. Only on April 27, three days ago, the Russian Patriarch Kirill decided to conduct services without parishioners and reminded the clergy of their responsibility for measures to limit the spread of coronavirus.

Those who violate the requirement and open the church will face judgment.

A petition appeared on the Internet in which Russian believers are asked to report which of the priests is infected and in which church or monastery. But so far there is no such list.

Two days ago, one of the top Russian church leaders, Bishop of Zheleznogorsk and Lgovsky Benjamin, died of coronavirus. At Easter, he held services to which the access of believers was not limited.

A video is distributed in social networks where the late bishop now says that the masons came up with fake news:

“All that you hear in the press, on television, is the Masons, they specially pay people, a certain group is formed, against the church. The Orthodox Church is the only one that is militant, the only one in which there is something sacred, that they cannot break and bring to their knees.”

134 new cases in Armenia, total 2,066

929 people of them have been cured.

In total, 32 people died from the beginning of the epidemic in Armenia.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, 21 125 tests have been carried out in Armenia.

Armenian Health Minister Arsen Torosyan says that all new cases are a group of people connected with each other. The source for this group was one infected, who came to the funeral.

The minister urged the population to come to such events only the closest people. “One should not think that danger has passed,” the minister said.

He believes that soon it will be possible to switch to Armenia in order not to hospitalize mild cases. However, for several days the previous approach will remain – hospitalization of all who have coronavirus.

Right now, 6 patients are connected to the artificial lung ventilation apparatus in Armenia, 17 are in extremely serious condition.

The state of emergency was declared on March 16 and will continue to operate until May 14.

The quarantine has been canceled in the city of Lentekhi in western Georgia and in the village of Hidiskuri in the Khashuri district.

Director of the Tbilisi Infectious Diseases Hospital Tengiz Tsertsvadze predicts an increase in the number of infected people next week, but hopes that “it will be several dozen people, not several hundred.”

Tsertsvadze considers the relaxation of restrictions dangerous, as he thinks that the population will abuse it.

“We have reached one of the best rates in Europe in terms of the number of infected and dead. But this achievement may be lost in the case of unreasonable actions, ”said Tengiz Tsertsvadze.
