Armenian health minister Arsen Torosyan said Monday that the average age threshold of COVID-19 deaths decreases.

"Many of our citizens do not know that they have diabetes, they do not know that they have arterial hypertension," he noted urging citizens to wear masks.

"The discovery that a virus stays in the air for dozens of minutes means that even if we stand in one place, there is no guarantee that someone didn’t walk there 5 minutes before, sneezing or coughing and throwing out millions of particles of the virus," the minister noted.
