YEREVAN. – There are no masks in Armenia’s pharmacies because of some panic. Narek Zeynalyan, Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Health Care and Social Affairs, stated this in a conversation with journalists today in parliament.

According to him, the situation in Armenia regarding the coronavirus should be taken quite seriously, but the resultant panic in the country is more serious and may have wrong consequences.

Asked if the possibility of postponing the constitutional referendum campaign is being discussed, as this campaign envisages mass events, Zeynalyan responded: "It depends on a change in the situation as what changes we will have within this week."

He added that now steps are being taken in connection with the campaign. "The situation is under control with regard to the coronavirus," he added, in particular.
