The measles situation in Armenia has subsided, health minister Anahit Avanesyan told reporters at the National Assembly on Tuesday.

"We have tightened the inspection filters and are doing extensive work to detect all possible cases. The situation is stable at the moment; but this does not mean that there will not be new cases coming from abroad, which once again makes us alert and urges that all our citizens definitely take their children to vaccinations," said Avanesyan.

"Also, those adults who for some reason did not get, or do not remember that they got such a vaccination, can also apply to the polyclinic, get vaccinated, and stay away from getting infected," the Armenian health minister stressed.
