Baku/25.01.22/Turan: Despite the sharp growth in the number of those infected with COVID-19 in Azerbaijan, the hospitalization cases of persons who tested positive have not developed in the same dynamics.
This was reported in a joint statement of the Ministry of Health, the State Agency for Compulsory Health Insurance and the Union for Management of Medical Territorial Divisions (TƏBİB).
According to the statement, the number of daily hospitalizations remains stable. The main reason for this is that vaccinated people carry the disease easily.
"We urge citizens 5 months after receiving a second dose or having had an infection to get vaccinated with a third (booster) dose to raise the body's antibodies to a higher level to secure against the new strain," a joint statement of the health authorities noted.
Along with vaccination, rules of special quarantine regime should be observed, in particular the compliance with physical distance, the use of masks and the observance of hygiene rules, the statement further said.-06B-
