No cases of Covid-19 have been registered in Turkmenistan, said Galina Perfileva, official representative of the World Health Organization in Tajikistan, on the TV channel "Tajikistan", reports eadaily.com.

"Now the whole world is fighting Covid-19, there are almost no countries on the globe where there are no cases of the disease. Tajikistan and Turkmenistan are, in principle, the two countries remaining in the region out of 53 infected countries where Covid cases have not been registered," Perfileva said.

The representative of WHO called on the population to observe hygiene and refrain from visiting places of mass congestion.

“Russian Federal service for supervision of consumer rights protection and human welfare” handed over about 800 test systems to Turkmenistan and other countries of the near and far abroad. Using these tests, you can conduct 80 thousand studies.
