Coronavirus: 63 officially confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) were reported in Tajikistan yesterday, bringing a total number of officially confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country to 5,160 as of the evening of June 16, according to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population (MoHSPP).
3,624 COVID-19 patients (+121 people) have reportedly recovered as of the evening of June 15, 2020.
The official coronavirus-linked death toll has not changed and remained the same – 50, according to a MoHSPP.
Despite the fact that the number of officially confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country has exceeded 5,000, we know very few about the coronavirus situation in the country.
Thus, the MoHSPP does not give information about the coronavirus situation in the regional cross section that creates problems to assess the situation.
The reliability of official statistics is also in doubt. There is no information who were those 50 people who died of COVID-19. Other countries, for example, publish profiles of those who died of this disease, where they indicate the place of residence, gender, age, sometimes even concomitant diseases.
Besides, there is no itemized information about distribution of humanitarian aid.
