President urges Kyrgyz citizens to show civil responsibility

Bishkek, March 21, 2020 / Kabar /. All citizens arriving from abroad and persons in contact with them must show civil liability and inform state authorities in order to undergo the necessary check for coronavirus infection.

President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sooronbay Jeenbekov made such an appeal at a meeting of the country's Security Council in a narrow composition with the participation of heads of state bodies.

At a meeting of the Security Council, additional measures are being considered to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection in the Kyrgyz Republic, the Kyrgyz president’s press service said.

The head of state noted that now everyone needs to put civic responsibility in the first place and strictly adhere to discipline.

“This is not a private matter of everyone, but a matter that affects the health of the nation. You cannot be indifferent and think that “this will not affect me and my home”. You see the situation in the world, this can affect every family, every citizen. Therefore, everyone is responsible not only for themselves, for their children and loved ones, but also for the health of society as a whole. First of all, it is necessary to maintain discipline and civic responsibility,” the president emphasized.

Jeenbekov recalled that in some countries, due to non-compliance with the discipline, the situation has greatly aggravated, the fight against infection has become more complicated, and in countries adhering to strict discipline, especially in neighboring China, the situation has declined.

“Therefore, once again I want to appeal to citizens to strictly observe all the necessary conditions and discipline that the situation requires. Yes, our people are very hospitable. It is psychologically difficult to accept restrictions. But, I repeat once again, maintaining discipline is not a matter of the health of a single citizen, but of the whole nation,” he said.

In this regard, Jeenbekov urged Kyrgyz citizens to strictly adhere to the recommendations of doctors, government, and local authorities.

“In the digital age, we will communicate with each other over the phone, through social networks, he said.
