Kyrgyzstan to continue separate statistics on COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia

Bishkek, July 14, 2020 / Kabar /. Kyrgyzstan’s Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov told a briefing why statistics on coronavirus infection COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia are kept separately. He said that the question of combining these statistics has already been raised at headquarters. “According data of the Ministry of Health, the world maintains the same statistics as we do now. But they instructed to monitor the situation and for now keep statistics in parallel. An outbreak of community-acquired pneumonia has occurred only recently. And, in my opinion, the attitude of the population towards coronavirus led to this, everyone denied the existence of the virus and did not observe epidemiological rules. This situation has led to complications in the form of lung disease,” said Boronov.
