Baku / 21.01.22 / Turan: Azerbaijan has not yet registered cases of infection with a new crown virus detected in China. Turan was informed about this by the head of the epidemiology department of the Republican Sanitary and Quarantine Center Yadulla Balyshov.
According to him, at all border checkpoints in Azerbaijan, including airports and seaports, doctors carry out the necessary checks.
“When identifying people with a high fever and signs of the disease, they should immediately inform the Sanitary and Quarantine Center. However, no such information has been received yet,” said Balyshov.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
