The temperatures of all Members of Parliament of Armenia are being taken at the entrance to the National Assembly, without exceptions.

As reported Armenian News-NEWS.am, antiseptics are placed on all floors of the parliament building so that MPs can disinfect their hands.

According to deputy of the ruling My Step Alliance Hovhannes Igityan, MPs also need to undergo medical checkups for ensuring sanitary-hygienic safety in the building and of the employees and guests. He added that Armenia took these measures after the first case of coronavirus was confirmed.
