After the spike in daily COVID-19 cases in March-April 2021, a decreasing trend was recorded during this summer.

As being mentioned on the national vaccination platform<\/a>, 1 306 726 doses of vaccine have been administered since the start of the vaccination campaign. The national vaccination rate with one dose is 21.96%, while 20.61% of the population is fully vaccinated. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the official statistics<\/a> provided by the Ministry of Health, 70-85% of people who got infected were not vaccinated<\/span>. Epidemiologists believe this may be the beginning of a new wave, while Government insists on the imperative to vaccinate as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

That is one of the main reasons the National Extraordinary Public Health Commission (NEPHC) <\/strong>declared<\/a> a new public health state of emergency<\/strong> in the country starting September 10. The institution also established new rules for access to public events and public places.<\/p>\n

Therefore, starting September 11, persons over the age of 18 can have access to outdoor events, festivals, cinemas performance halls, concerts, as well as nightclubs with one of the following documents: a vaccination certificate proving they are fully vaccinated, a negative result of a RT-PCR test performed no later than 72 hours in advance, a negative result of a rapid antigen test, which is not older than 48 hours, a confirmatory medical conclusion in the case of persons who have undergone COVID-19 in the last 6 months or a confirmatory act of the presence of anti-COVlD-19 antibodies.<\/p>\n

As Minister of Health, Ala Nemerenco<\/strong>, claimed<\/a>, the pandemic “has an ascending character with a tendency of continuous aggravation.”<\/em> It is not clear though why the restrictive measures did not affect religious institutions and the food service industry yet, which are two strategic sectors when it comes to controlling the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n
