The resident of Ejmiatsin who contracted the coronavirus has been quarantined and is receiving treatment at the Nork Infection Hospital. The individual is feeling well and is under supervision. The mayor of Ejmiatsin, Diana Gasparyan, spoke about this during a Facebook live video. The other citizens whom the individual came into contact with and who may potentially carry the virus have also been quarantined. However, the mayor said that she cannot disclose where they are being quarantined. According to Diana Gasparyan, rumors that 3 people in Ejmiatsin have the virus and that they fell ill at a wedding are false.
“What people are saying online and on the streets is not true. They are expressing opinions that have not been confirmed and are causing people to panic,” the mayor said, saying that the ill citizen went to an engagement party on Sunday. “The number of people they came into contact with was clarified yesterday and was passed on to the Ministry of Health. The ministry found those people and quarantined them so they can be tested and examined.”
Diana Gasparyan also spoke about police cars and ambulances in the city that have caused people to panic. “They are not there because people fell ill. They are working with the coronavirus victim and they are clarifying who had direct contact with that individual. They are there to quarantine those people.”
The mayor told residents to trust the authorities. “Because professionals are working on these issues, and if it has been decided that this many people should be quarantined, then the Ministry of Health found that to be necessary.”
