Armenia’s Health Minister does not believe COVID-19 is receding

Speaking at the National Assembly today, Torosyan has specified that previously confirmed cases were infected in the same hotspot but now the infection sources vary.

 “Our job is to discover each case, test the potential patient, confirm the case, isolate the contacts, and treat the patients. We have to keep completing these steps as long as we can. When we are no longer able to do it, we’ll only test and treat. If the spread grows, we won’t isolate people anymore, because it would be pointless,” he said.

 According to Arsen Torosyan, the priority is to keep the number of deaths and the workload in the hospital as low as possible.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
