By the decision of the Constitutional Court, the August 20 order of the minister of health of Armenia has been deemed constitutional, and the PCR test requirement set by the minister's order is legal, as it is in the public health interest. This is stated on the official Facebook page of the Armenian government. It continues as follows:

In all the appendices of the order of the minister of health, only the phrase "at his own expense" in the sentence "PCR test is carried out by the employee at his own expense" was deemed unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court, and this does not at all lift the requirement for employees to submit a PCR test result [to their employers].

It is not envisioned to ensure on preferential and free terms the PCR test for unvaccinated employees. Therefore, based on the order of the minister, unvaccinated employees are, in any case, obligated to carry out a test and submit the test results to the employer in accordance with the procedures provided by legal regulations.
