YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS. 80% of Armenia’s coronavirus patients are virtually asymptomatic, healthcare minister Arsen Torosyan said at a news briefing.  He said some of the 80% had mild fever that subsided eventually, and some didn’t even have fever at all.

He said that even asymptomatic patients must remain under isolation and medical supervision until full recovery.

92 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Armenia in one day, bringing the total cumulative number of confirmed cases to 663, the National Center for Disease Control reported.

With 33 recoveries and 4 fatalities the number of active cases is 626, as of April 2, 11:00 GMT+4.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
