The leader of the Social-Democratic Party of Tajikistan (SDPT), Rahmatillo Zoyirov, on May 5 said on his Facebook page that he has contracted the novel coronavirus (COVID 19).
According to him, he has had COVID-19 for already eight days.
Recall, Rahmatillo Zoirov said on April 27 that there is COVID-19 in Tajikistan. “…We are already late with two stages of countering the novel coronavirus, and now there is the third stage,” Zoyirov wrote on his Facebook page.
According to him, the first stage began in January when some entrepreneurs contracted the disease after visiting China and then other people got infected from them in Tajikistan.
“Despite quarantine organized for people arriving in Tajikistan from other countries, some people were able to bypass the requirement to be placed in quarantine (as a result of bribing and nepotism). As a result, they have infected others,” SDPT leader said on April 27.
It is to be noted that Zoyirov is the second party leader in Tajikistan having tested positive for COVID-19.
The leader of the Democratic Party of Tajikistan (DPT), Saidjaffar Usmonzoda, who is also member of the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan’s lower chamber of parliament), told Asia-Plus on May 4 that he has contracted COVID-19.
“At first, I was hospitalized on suspicion of contracted an acute respiratory infection but recently I was diagnosed with COVID-19,” said Usmonzoda. “Now my condition is much better.”
DPT leader is currently being treated in one of hospitals in Dushanbe.
