YEREVAN. – The COVID-19 situation in Armenia is stable at the moment, but everything possible must be done so that the respective negative situation currently reported in other countries does not spread to Armenia, too, and therefore, the country plans to change its policy on the fight against this pandemic. Hripsime Khachatryan, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health of Armenia, told about this to NEWS.am Medicine.

"The situation in connection with the pandemic is getting tense in the world, and we do not want Armenia to also face the same problems," said the ministry representative.

According to her, Armenian specialists are currently studying the track-record of other countries in promoting coronavirus vaccines and preventing the spread of this disease, in order to determine what steps should be taken in Armenia to avoid possible related problems, keep the respective epidemiological situation in the country stable and manageable, and avoid possible severe restrictions.

It is not yet known what steps this new policy to fight this pandemic will include and what related restrictions may be applied in Armenia in the near future; but they are unlikely to apply to those who have already been vaccinated against the coronavirus, as they are less likely to become infected with this disease, or suffer from its severe forms.
