YEREVAN. – Speaker of the Armenian parliament Ararat Mirzoyan warned against participation in public gatherings.

“For the good of your health and the health of your beloved ones, just stop organizing mass events, stop inviting and participating in such events, and avoid visiting public gatherings.

Coronavirus is not a joke, the means and proposed rules to prevent its spread are no joke,” he said in a statement.

The measures taken by the government will not give necessary results, unless you take the situation serious, he added.
