Armenia to Receive $2 Million Grant to Combat COVID-19

The government has today approved the grant agreement signed between Armenia and the Asian Development Bank on August 27, 2020, under the 'COVID-19 Response Program.'

According to the agreement, the Armenian government will receive a grant of $2 million. The funds will be utilized to procure personal protective equipment, testing kits, general medical supplies, and other necessary resources for frontline healthcare workers and the affected population due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Given the statistics of the spread of COVID-19 in the Republic of Armenia, the signing of the grant agreement is vital for financing programs aimed at preventing the pandemic.
