“If you think that our border is completely closed, then you are mistaken. Because every day 500-600 citizens are arriving in Uzbekistan from abroad through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan,” Otabekov said.

“All of them are quarantined in an organized manner,” he added.

According to the latest data, more than 85 thousand compatriots are in quarantine. Of these, 16,948 people are in stationary quarantine (hospitals, sanatoriums, specially prepared places), 62,408 people at home.
