YEREVAN. – Three cases of measles were recorded in Armenia. Two of them were residents of Georgia and the other was a resident of Armenia, who was infected during her visit abroad. 

Immunity program manager Gayane Sahakyan told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In her words, the abovementioned residents of Georgia were 3- and 5-year old children. They had come to Armenia during the secret period of the illness, and the latter’s clinical manifestation had occurred in Armenia.

The resident of Armenia, who was infected with measles, is a 28-year-old girl who had gone to Odessa, Ukraine, to attend a seminar, where she was infected by a participant from Georgia. But the symptoms had emerged in Armenia.      

Sahakyan further informed that the children are already discharged from hospital, whereas the Armenian resident was not hospitalized at all. She had applied to a clinic and received medical assistance.

The program manager said the core of the disease is destroyed. She added that no cases of measles are recorded in Armenia ever since 2007, and the given case is not considered a local occurrence because it had originated from abroad.

“The epidemiological situation [in Armenia] is under control,” Gayane Sahakyan concluded.
