Covid-19: Armenian health authorities urge to spend the New Year with family
Given the tense epidemic situation in the world due to the coronavirus, the Armenian Ministry of Health advises citizens to limit contacts, avoid crowded places and public events during the New Year and Christmas holidays.
According to the Ministry, the contacts during holidays risk increasing the spread of the coronavirus disease, as well as other acute respiratory viruses.
Therefore, the health authorities recommend to spend the New Year with family and refrain from receiving guests.
“Be sure to wear a mask, keep social distance, follow hand hygiene. If you have a suspected or confirmed case of coronavirus at home, keep a distance of at least 1.5 m when communicating with the person and sure to wear a mask, do not receive guests,” the Ministry of Health notes.
It urges to refrain from self medication and contact the polyclinic doctor (therapist, pediatrician or family doctor) immediately in case of symptoms of acute respiratory disease (fever, cough, flu).
