«Some people think that if the statistics of incidence and mortality are declining, they can stop wearing masks. This is not true. The face masks must be worn in all public places, and social distance must be observed. People also say that the antibodies produced as a result of the disease will help not to get infected again. This is false information, the disease has not been fully studied, and there is a risk of reinfection,» Madamin Karataev said.
Recall, the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan has combined statistics after the WHO assigned the code U07.1 to the laboratory-confirmed coronavirus in the international classification of diseases, and the code U07.2 — to community-acquired pneumonia, and it is considered as manifestation of the virus.
