CHIEF EPIDEMIOLOGIST CONCLUDES RECENT EVENTS

Today the chief epidemiologist of Armenia Ara Asoyan expressed his
view points on the recent disease revealed in Vanadzor and
Alaverdi. According to him the reason of the disease was that drinking
water and irrigation water were mixed. In the aftermath of the event
26 people in Alaverdi and 150 in Vanadzor suffered the disease, and
totally 300 `light’ cases were fixed who were cured at hope.

Regarding the hypothesis that milk and milk products imported from
China could be a source of disease, the chief epidemiologist said that
the current version is excluded as there the kidneys were infected and
death cases registered.
