The Tajik MFA information department notes that these restrictions do not apply to diplomats of foreign states and representatives of international organizations and financial institutions, as well as members of their families accredited in Tajikistan.
In case of entry of the specified category of persons into the territory of the republic, the procedure of mandatory 14-day self-isolation in the places of their permanent residence under the supervision of employees of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of Republic of Tajikistan is provided.
