COVID-19 Presence in Armenia Denied

Reports circulating online claim that two Chinese nationals with high fever are receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of the ‘Nork’ Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital. However, the Armenian Ministry of Health refuted these claims in an interview with Tert.am.

“They have been subjected to laboratory testing, and the presence of the coronavirus has been denied. They exhibited signs of influenza and cold, but pneumonia has not been detected,” stated Alina Nikoghosyan, spokesperson for the Minister of Health.
