Bayramli commented on the information about the likelihood of announcing an emergency situation in Azerbaijan due to coronavirus.

“However, with full control of the situation and the speed of the virus’ spread, there is no such a necessity.

Bayramli noted that the patients, whose heath condition is relatively serious, are in medical institutions in Baku, and the others are in regions.
