“Quarantine may be applied in the fall”

“Certain quarantine measures may be applied in Azerbaijan due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

He said this in an interview with ATV channel MEDICINErepresentative, deputy director for scientific affairs of the Scientific-Research Prevention Institute Akif Gurbanov said.

He said that if the number of infections increases significantly, the number of people admitted to the hospital may also increase: “We are heading towards autumn. The weather will start to cool down. It is possible that an excessive increase in the number of infections will lead to an excessive increase in the number of patients admitted to the hospital. This will burden our health care system. Therefore, certain quarantine measures can be implemented.”

The expert advised all persons who have reached the age of 18 not to be left out of the vaccination process: “We have to follow the conditions to a certain extent. It is necessary to avoid unnecessary contacts and use masks in crowded places.
