It has already been a couple of months since the Armenian people began to fight against an invisible enemy, that is, the coronavirus. This is what Minister of Emergency Situations of Armenia Felix Tsolakyan stated during a briefing held after the session of the Commandant’s Office today.

According to him, in this period, the 911 Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations has responded to 2,264 calls for coronavirus cases alone, 244 citizens have received relevant information, 983 have been provided with medical consulting, and 987 have received psychological support.

“There are 119 rescuers visiting isolated patients along with police officers and employees of the Ministry of Health. Unfortunately, there are also employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations who have contracted the coronavirus from their relatives. Over the past couple of months, 35 employees have contracted the virus (20 of them have recovered and returned to work and 15 are still under treatment). There are 82 employees who have self-isolated,” the minister said, emphasizing that, in any case, all citizens can call 911, if they need support or assistance.
