Two coronavirus-linked deaths have been officially confirmed in Tajikistan yesterday, bringing a total number of the coronavirus-related deaths that have been officially registered in the country since June 21, 2021 to seven.
Recall, two coronavirus-linked deaths were officially confirmed on July 2, one more coronavirus-linked death was officially confirmed on July 4 and two other coronavirus-linked deaths were officially confirmed in Tajikistan on July 5.
Thus, a total number of the officially confirmed coronavirus-linked deaths in Tajikistan has reached 97 since April 30, 2020, when the infection index cases were officially confirmed in Dushanbe and Khujand.
Thirty-five new cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have been officially confirmed in Tajikistan as of the night of July 7, bringing a total number of COVID-19 cases officially reported in the country since June 21 to 329.
A total number of the officially confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in Tajikistan has reached 13,690 since April 30, 2020, when its index cases were confirmed in the country.
According to data from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population (MoHSPP), twenty-seven COVID-19 patients have recovered in the country yesterday.
Thus, the number of those who have been cured in Tajikistan since April 30, 2020 reached 13,437 (99 percent).
Meanwhile, according to unofficial data, the number of affected persons and deaths is in the thousands.
Tajikistan’s coronavirus task force has ordered all citizens over the age of 18 to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Citizens should book an appointment with their doctor or their local clinic to receive a free vaccination. The task force said the mandatory vaccination order was to counter the spread of COVID-19 in Tajikistan. It also called on citizens returning to Tajikistan from abroad and visitors to isolate for 10 days even if they test negative. The coronavirus task force also encouraged Tajiks to limit the size of weddings and other events to the fewest number of people.
Recall, the law penalizing for not wearing face masks in public or failing to practice physical distancing of two meters was taken effect in Tajikistan exactly a year ago, on July 8, 2020. The amendments made to the Administrative Code provide for a fine from 116 to 290 somonis for anyone not wearing a mask in public or failing to practice physical distancing of two meters.
The amendments also made it an administrative offense to spread deliberately false information about the pandemic through media or the internet. Individuals found to be in breach will face fines of up to 580 somonis, while legal entities, ostensibly meaning media outlets, may have to pay 11,600 somonis.
