The State Border Service of Kyrgyzstan carries out strict control over citizens arriving in the country primarily from states with an unfavorable epidemiological situation. Examinations are carried out at all checkpoints along the entire perimeter of the state border. Press service of the agency reported.
They are placed in observational premises for quarantine and comprehensive examination.
The State Border Service stressed that even citizens crossing the state border and passing passport control through the e-gate system using biometric passports must submit documents, in order border guards can check the presence of indications of visits to China in the past three months. In the absence of this document, a person undergoes a survey and additional examination.
All citizens arriving in the Kyrgyz Republic undergo thermometry and laboratory testing of samples from the upper respiratory tract. Checkpoints operate in an intensive mode; necessary preventive measures have been taken.
