Health Minister Arsen Torosyan says his predictions according to which the coronavirus case in Armenia will reach 10,000 came true. The minister’s remarks came at the briefing following the meeting at the Commandant’s office.
“210 new cases of Covid-19 and 8 deaths were recorded in the country over the past day. The total number of deaths stands at 138 as of today. Note, that few tests were performed on Sunday as not all laboratories operated in full capacity,” the minister said.
In Torosyan’s words, hospitals are strained due to ICU capacity. “We have 440 patients in severe condition and 55 – in critical, 16 of them are on ventilators,” the minister informed.
