No need to panic and close educational establishments: Deputy PM on possibility of spread of coronavirus in Armenia
Armenia’s ombudsman Arman Tatoyan speaking at the cabinet sitting today referred to the possibility of postponing classes in schools.
Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan claimed that such decisions need concrete groundings which will testify that the virus has already spread.
“Our cases are very localized, very concrete, these are people who were initially under control,” Avinyan said, adding that there is no need to discuss such issue yet and no need to panic either.
He stressed that they are working in everyday regime and if necessary such decision will be made in a day.
Education minister Arayik Harutyunyan said today a closed meeting will be convened to discuss the issue.
