One more coronavirus-linked death was officially confirmed in Tajikistan yesterday, bringing a total number of the coronavirus-linked deaths that have been officially registered in the country since June 21, 2021 to twenty-five.
Thus, a total number of the officially confirmed coronavirus-linked deaths in Tajikistan has reached 115 since April 30, 2020, when the infection index cases were officially confirmed in Dushanbe and Khujand.
Meanwhile, 63 new cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have been officially confirmed in Tajikistan as of the evening of July 21 (It is the highest daily number of coronavirus cases officially confirmed in the country since June 21, 2021 – Asia-Plus), bringing a total number of COVID-19 cases officially reported in the country since June 21 to 930.
The total number of the officially confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in Tajikistan has reached 14,291 since April 30, 2020, when its index cases were confirmed in the country.
The Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population (MoHSPP) says forty-five COVID-19 patients recovered in the country yesterday, bringing a total number of those who have been cured in Tajikistan since April 30, 2020 to 13,846 (99 percent).
Meanwhile, according to unofficial data, the number of affected persons and deaths is in the thousands.
Health workers working in a “red zone” note that the symptoms of the patients have changed, and this perhaps points to the Delta variant.
The number of those contracting COVID-19 is increasing in Tajikistan, and cases of covid infection have already been reported even among infants in hospitals. Doctors suggest that the possible reason for this is the spread of the Delta variant in the country.
The health authorities, however, deny information about the spread of the Delta variant in Tajikistan as unfounded.
The MoHSPP press center says “the labs send PCR test results to the ministry every day and no cases of the Indian strain have been detected.”
The COVID-19 pandemic in Tajikistan is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have spread to Tajikistan when its index cases, in Dushanbe and Khujand, were confirmed on 30 April 2020.
