There are 865 beds in Armenian hospitals, 808 of which are already occupied, Armenian health minister Anahit Avanesyan announced at a government session.

According to her, work is already underway to deploy hospitals and increase the bed capacity.

However, one should not forget that even if the health care system will be able to provide medical care to all people who become ill with COVID-19, about 20% of patients have severe disease, and 5% have an extremely severe course, she added.
