The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the expected vaccine against coronavirus. The Sputnik vaccine made in Russia will be effective against the new virus that has appeared in the UK, too, because it is directed against all coronavirus infections, the newspaper writes.

Azerbaijan will also join the vaccination and use the vaccine approved by the WHO. The main criterion is the safety factor. The vaccination program will begin in 2021 and will be free and voluntary.

The website Sfera.az discusses the topic of restoration work on the lands liberated from occupation, for which 2.2 billion manats were allocated from the state budget. However, even this will not be enough for all the restoration work, since it is required to build 150 thousand residential buildings, which will require 5-6 billion manats.

For the implementation of all envisaged works, 8-10 billion manats will be required. First of all, security and infrastructure issues must be addressed. Experts believe that next year the authorities will pay serious attention to the border zone where people will be resettled.

The website Müsavat.com assesses the damage caused by the pandemic to the catering system - restaurants, cafes, hotels, celebration houses, etc.

The oligarchs lost millions, and from now on they will prefer to export their capital outside the country. In any case, neither the pandemic nor its consequences will be eliminated by spring.
