The overall direct US government contribution in support of Uzbekistan will reach $5.92 million, of which USAID has already provided approximately $3.8 million.
"With this and previously announced funding, the US government supports Uzbekistan's efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic by providing advice and technical assistance to prevent the spread of infection in medical and diagnostic facilities," the US Embassy said.
