Yesterday (9th) Of the 45 newly confirmed corona19 cases, more than half of them were overseas inflow cases.

The average number of foreign inflows confirmed in May was 6 people per day, but it is rapidly increasing to 11 people last month and 20 people this month.

According to this, the government has decided on countries to strengthen the prevention of corona 19 and is obliged to provide foreign residents of the country with a corona 19'voice confirmation' issued by a designated medical institution within 48 hours of the departure date.

The application point is from the 13th.

Countries with a high rate of confirmation among immigrants or a rapid increase in the number of patients in their country are targeted for strengthening quarantine. Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are likely to be targeted.

The government has also taken steps to keep the occupancy rate below 60% for flights from countries that are targeted for strengthening quarantine.

Health officials say there are no such cases of pneumonia among domestic immigrants in connection with some foreign reports that pneumonia, which is more fatal than Corona19, is spreading recently in Kazakhstan.
