Health Minister: Azerbaijan has system to conduct tests for COVID-19
By Trend
A unique system on conducting tests for coronavirus has been created in Azerbaijan, Minister of Health Ogtay Shiraliyev said in an interview to the Azerbaijan Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (AzTV), Trend reports.
The minister noted that the fight against the pandemic is being carried out orderly and decisively.
“The introduction of a quarantine regime was announced timely. However, it also creates serious problems for the economy of countries. At the meeting held on April 28, I once again noted that President Ilham Aliyev unequivocally stated that the most important thing for us is the people's health, and the next is the epidemiological situation. Our epidemiologists can conduct tests to detect the virus,” Shiraliyev added.
“Other hospitals will open soon. Our regional hospitals also comply with modern standards. As a result, when an infected person is detected in the regions, there is no need to deliver him to Baku, since all necessary measures are being taken on the spot. This is important to prevent the spread of the epidemic throughout the country,” said the minister.
Shiraliyev added that the mechanism of protection from the virus is different in each country.
