TASHKETN /DNA/) – A video-conference was held under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to analyze the effectiveness of fieldwork on combating the coronavirus pandemic and the development of a private household, which is an important factor in ensuring food security, employment and incomes of the population.

The head of state adopted a number of important decisions aimed at limiting the spread of coronavirus, minimizing its negative impact on the life of the population and the country’s economy. In particular, a Special Republican Commission has been formed, full-scale work has been launched to stabilize the epidemiological situation, protect public health, and introduce a quarantine regime.

Particular attention is paid to increasing the degree of preparedness of medical institutions and the construction of additional facilities. In particular, a special hospital with 10 thousand beds in the Zangiata district is being built at an accelerated pace. In Yukorichirchik district, a quarantine zone for 10 thousand people began to work, and the construction of another quarantine base for 10 thousand places began, which will be put into operation by 15 May.

At the meeting, it was noted that over the past month, 6 thousand citizens were returned to the country by 20 charter flights, another 10 thousand returned by rail and through border posts. All of them are quarantined and placed in 160 objects.

An operational headquarters has been formed, consisting of experienced doctors and professors who conduct round-the-clock online counseling for the treatment of patients. Virologists from China and South Korea are invited. Using telemedicine technologies, interaction is carried out with specialists from Russia, Germany, Japan, Turkey and other countries.

– The most important thing is that the vast majority of our people soberly assess the situation, work remotely, strictly follow the recommendations of doctors and the requirements of quarantine, set an example for everyone with their culture, consciousness and discipline. Our pupils and students continue to receive education through online lessons, the head of state said.

The system of uninterrupted supply of food products, medicines and medical devices has been effectively established. The free sponsorship provided by our generous compatriots is targeted and timely delivered to socially vulnerable segments of the population.

As the President noted, the readiness of our people to fight this threat shoulder to shoulder is clearly evidenced by the fact that over a short period of time, citizens, state and non-governmental organizations transferred more than 50 billion soums to the Charity and Health Fund of Uzbekistan.

“In this difficult time, our multinational people do not succumb to panic and confusion, but, on the contrary, again show iron will, mutual respect and solidarity with the confidence that this disaster that has come from outside will soon pass and better days will come,” said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.=DNA
