«Neither local authorities nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs are taking any measures on these issues. Raids are not being carried out sufficiently. Places of mass gathering of people are foci of infection. Leaders, it is not the time to relax! The heads of regions and districts are responsible for the epidemiological situation in the entrusted territories. Therefore, it is necessary to step up control over sanitary and epidemiological safety,» he said.
The Prime Minister also instructed to pay special attention to citizens in grave and extremely grave condition. «Our main goal is to save the lives of our compatriots who are in a grave and extremely grave condition. Each patient needs an individual approach. If necessary, convene a consultation of doctors. Saving of patient’s life depends on the effectiveness of the coordinators of the Ministry of Health in the regions and the chief doctors of hospitals,» he stressed.
Participants of the meeting also discussed resumption of the work of day and night hospitals and mobile brigades. The center members commented that these medical services should be ready to resume work, if necessary.
Kubatbek Boronov added that healthcare organizations in the regions should be provided with an irreducible supply of medicines and personal protective equipment. In addition, a number of instructions have been given to the plenipotentiary representatives of the Government in the regions and the relevant state bodies, including to tighten control over compliance with the sanitary and quarantine regime.
