(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Kazakhstan's first deadly case hits Central Asia
China News Agency, Nuer Sultan, March 26 (Reporter Wen Longjie) According to Kazakh News Agency, Kazakhstan had the first death from neo-pneumocoronary pneumonia on the 26th, which is also the first death in all Central Asian countries.
Kazakh Minister of Information and Social Development Abbayev announced the news at the press conference on the same day. However, the specific circumstances of the case were not mentioned in the reports of the Hartong News Agency and other media. In addition, two confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia were discharged from the hospital that day.
Abbayev said that the deaths had reminded people again that they should pay attention to the "severity of new coronary pneumonia", and strictly implement the quarantine measures formulated by the government and abide by the quarantine and emergency regulations.
It is worth noting that the number of confirmed cases in Kazakhstan broke the "hundreds" on the 26th, with a considerable increase, which is related to the recent return of a large number of Kazakh citizens from abroad. As of press time, 111 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia have been found in Kazakhstan, including 61 in the capital Nur-Sultan, 40 in Almaty, the largest city, and 2 in Chimkent. The remaining 8 cases are distributed in Karaganda and Almaty , Aktobe, Jambour and Northern Kazakhstan.
The first batch of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia was found in Kazakhstan on the 13th. The epidemic situation is now at the "climbing" stage. Judging from the distribution scope, the confirmed cases of Kazakhstan have spread to the "three cities" and "five states", of which the two cities of Nur-Sultan and Almaty are "heavy-hit areas". Kazakhstan is divided into 3 municipalities and 14 states on the administrative division.
At present, Kazakhstan has become the Central Asian country with the worst epidemic. Followed by Uzbekistan, another large Central Asian country, a total of 60 cases were diagnosed as of the 26th.
The Minister of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Birtanov, said recently that the epidemic of new crown pneumonia in Kazakhstan is expected to peak in early April. Kazakh President Tokayev said on social media on the 25th that Kazakhstan ’s new crown pneumonia epidemic is generally under control. “I believe that through joint efforts, we will be able to defeat new crown pneumonia. It is important not to be discouraged and to follow your doctor ’s advice.” (Finish)
