To date, South Ossetian Committee for Human Rights Protection has conducted 154 tests for the detection of coronavirus infection, and all of them are negative, the head of the Republic’s sanitary department Marina Kochieva said at the session of the South Ossetian Parliament.
The first meeting of the Expert Council under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Ossetia, created on April 9, 2020, was held on Friday under the chairmanship of Foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev, according to the official website of the department.
President of South Ossetia called on the citizens to take full responsibility for the measures introduced in the Republic, in connection with the threat of the spread of coronavirus.
According to Bibilov, it is wrong to perceive this disease lightly and irresponsibly.
“We must understand the threat posed by the coronavirus and treat the restrictive measures introduced in South Ossetia, especially regarding the entry into the Republic, with understanding. The actions taken by the authorities are absolutely correct and necessary,” the President said.
A meeting of the operational headquarters on countering the spread of coronavirus infection in the Republic is underway in Tskhinval, chaired by President of the Republic Anatoly Bibilov.
During the meeting was discussed the current epidemiological situation in the world and neighboring regions. According to the head of state, all decisions made by the South Ossetian authorities to counteract the penetration of coronavirus into the Republic were correct and aimed at maintaining the safety of citizens.
