The drugs used for treatment of pneumonia at home are drugs that are available, and there is no need to purchase other drugs. This is what Minister of Health of Armenia Arsen Torosyan told reporters today, touching upon the question whether the Armenian government is planning to reimburse people’s expenses for treatment, if they are treating the coronavirus at home.

“If there truly is a need for other drugs, the particular citizen shouldn’t treat COVID-19 at home and must be transferred to a hospital. I would also like to remind that many citizens who have tested positive for COVID-19 don’t need to undergo treatment at all. They simply need to stay home,” he said.
