The head of the My Step faction, Lilit Makunts, spoke about the other members of the faction who were confirmed to have the coronavirus. She said, “There are confirmed cases, but I will not mention the names of the deputies. Regarding the work of the parliament, we are doing everything we can so that our activities continue uninterrupted.”
Two deputies from the party, Christine Poghosyan and Viktor Yengibaryan, confirmed that they have the coronavirus and they were participating in a session of parliament where a vote took place. Makunts said that, at the moment, there is another confirmed case, but the others have not been confirmed yet. “I do not know if they will have a positive result or not, but if we were to say hypothetically that they were positive, that will not have an impact on the work of the parliament. None of them had symptoms.”
When asked if the other members of the party will be taking tests, Makunts said that they will not. Only those who have obvious symptoms or who are possible sources of contact will take a test. “You came into contact with one of the deputies who publicly announced that they have the coronavirus, and now you are interviewing me.”
When asked about whether or not Ararat Mirzoyan and Alen Simonyan will be taking a test due to the fact that Vahe Enfiajyan, who confirmed that he has the coronavirus, came into contact with them, Makunts said, “Did you take a test? You also came into contact with Enfiajyan. This will be decided based on personal consultations with their doctors.”
