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 April 30, 2020.
The coronavirus COVID-19 is reportedly affecting 218 countries and territories around the world and two international conveyances.
Coronavirus cases around the globe have been reported at 69,231,677 since China reported its first cases to the World Health Organization (WHO) in December, Worldometer said today morning (04:06 GMT). Of them, 47,985,517 have recovered and 1,575,677 have died.
Meanwhile, head of the Gamaleya Federal Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Alexander Ginzburg says border closure as measure to combat the spread of coronavirus has exhausted itself because sources of infection that surround people play the primary role in the development of the pandemic.
