The main reason for the increase in cases of coronavirus infection is manufacturing enterprises, 75-80% of cases are registered in industrial enterprises and in the service sector. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this live on Facebook today.
"Who is to blame? What should be done? from May 4 we decided to reduce the restrictions. Did we know that this should lead to an increase in the number of cases? of course we did, did we know that we should take measures so that it would not happen? yes, we knew.
Clear safety rules have been established, including for production enterprises. If these rules were followed, there would not be so many cases. Why did we go to reduce the restrictions? we realized that we could no longer be economically closed.
There were two choices, in terms of economy and health. We try to take a balanced approach, so that one of this choices does not go into the background. We have a new outbreak of coronavirus, but we are one of the countries with the lowest inflation in the world, we have had the most stable situation in terms of fluctuations and shocks of the national currency.
We have made such a choice to keep the situation as balanced as possible", said the Prime Minister.
