An extended meeting of the Republican Special Commission was held to coordinate the measures taken to ensure the stability of the epidemiological situation with coronavirus infection in the country.
The epidemiological situation in the country was analyzed by regions. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, tasks have been set to increase the responsibility of citizens for compliance with quarantine regulations.
According to the meeting, the World Health Organization and international experts believe that the fight against coronavirus and the prevention of new waves can be successfully organized through mass vaccination. In this regard, the practice of compulsory coronavirus vaccination has recently become widespread around the world.
