Armenia’s Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan took to Facebook on Tuesday to again warn of the worst-case COVID-19 scenario in the country.
“Yesterday I talked about a scenario of the spread of coronavirus disease, which fortunately has not happened yet. And we must do our best to ensure that this never happens,” Torosyan wrote.
In such a scenario, the total number of coronavirus cases is forecast to reach 524,032, of which 26,202 cases are expected to be critical.
At peak occupancy 12,445 beds will be needed.
