Commission set to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Armenia headed by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan convened its session in the government today.

Starting the session, the premier said that all the analyses show that the situation with coronavirus may last longer than expected or predicted initially.

“In this regard we must form certain ideas on how to organize our life in the republic. The general logic and strategy must be to find and form so-called free and safe territories to organize our life in conditions of restrictions due to coronavirus,” he said, stressing that the situation in the whole world is uncertain with no country even most developed ones being able to control the situation.

The head of the government stressed that one of the most developed countries stated about lack of tests and inability to test necessary number of citizens.

The premier stressed that the activity of the government must be divided into two parts: first is the activity of commandant’s office which will regulate the operative issues and the second the development of anti-crisis and strategic steps and logic to avoid collapses.

Deputy PM, commandant Tigran Avinyan stressed that the situation in the country now is under control with the whole attention being focused on the preventive measures.

Health minister Arsen Torosyan stressed that the condition of all 194 infected patients is assessed satisfactory.
