In addition, he noted the need for a deep, comprehensive analysis of the situation to develop effective proposals for stabilizing the epidemiological and macroeconomic situation in the country.

Sooronbai Jeenbekov once again stressed that priority attention in this situation should be paid to socially vulnerable segments of the population and support for entrepreneurship.

Kubatbek Boronov recalled that at the initial stage many analyzes have been frozen because of the lack of reagents. Up to date, the results are fully obtained, respectively, the number of cases increases. He stressed that, based on the schedule of recent weeks, it is too early to definitely talk about reaching the peak incidence rate.
