Kyrgyz prime minister makes statement

Bishkek, March 24. 2020 / Kabar /. Kyrgyz Prime Minister Mukhammedkalyi Abylgaziev made a statement in connection with the introduction of an emergency mode in Kyrgyzstan.

According to the press service of the government, Abylgaziev in his statement said that in order to combat coronavirus, an emergency situation mode was introduced in the country on March 22, but unfortunately, many people still have not realized the danger of the epidemic and continue to behave as if nothing had happened - carelessly, irresponsibly.

“Doctors say that anyone can be infected. One has good health, the other has not, and up to 14 days pass before appearing the first symptoms of the disease that has covered almost the entire world. Until this time, you cannot find out who infected you and whom you may have already infected. The virus is not somewhere far away - it is already among us. Therefore, we all need to be extremely attentive and responsible to ourselves. Stay home without urgency! This is the main requirement of the emergency regime!

I want to remind you that the decision to introduce an emergency regime was a difficult decision. We deliberately took this step, fully understanding that the introduced restrictions create big problems for the functioning of the economy and the daily lifestyle of hundreds of thousands of people. But there could be no other solution, because for all of us there is nothing more important than the health and safety of citizens.

Today we are forced to take harsh, very tough measures to protect the health of our citizens! From now on, the internal affairs bodies, patrol police and local authorities will apply the full power to those who, by their carelessness, endanger the health of other people! Frivolity is further intolerable! I really hope that all of you will sympathize with the legitimate requirements of the authorities and render them all possible assistance!,” the prime minister said in hisstatement.
