The number of coronavirus cases has been growing in Armenia over the past month, Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan told reporters on Thursday, July 21.
The minister said the increase is due to the growth in the number of trips abroad, as well as the new wave of coronavirus infections across Europe.
"We predicted that infections would arrive, we are vigilantly watching, the health system is ready for any development. In the next two weeks, we will understand whether the wave has a tendency to spread further, or whether we are heading for stabilization," the Minister said, according to Aysor.am.
"If the epidemic worsens again to the point where restrictions are necessary, the ministry will take that step, but at the moment there is no such need."
Avanesyan also recommended that people wear masks when going to hospitals and receive the vaccine booster shots by September.
