Health Minister Kanybek Dosmambetov responded to this question, assuring that the situation is under control.
“In Kyrgyzstan, measures for sanitary and quarantine control have been strengthened, as well as preventive measures. Special attention is being paid to passengers arriving from India, where cases of infection have been registered. The President allocated funds from his fund for the installation of automatic stationary thermal imaging cameras at all international airports in Osh, Karakol, and Tamchy. Currently, such a thermal imager is only available at the 'Manas' airport. We must not escalate the situation. Unlike COVID, this virus is transmitted through physical contact,” he noted.
