Media review for August 22

The fight against the pandemic, the causes of accidents at construction sites, a look at the ban on weddings are the topics of today's media.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the beginning of a new stage in the fight against the pandemic. Experts note that the pandemic will not end in the near future, although recently there has been a downward trend in the number of infected.

The softening of the regime allowed the opening of shops, except for malls. However, opening of classes in schools and universities  is under the qauestion.  The head of the WHO said that the coronavirus will continue for another year or two, or maybe longer.

The site “Yenisabah.az” writes about accidents at construction sites, discussing this issue with an expert. On construction sites, safety rules are poorly followed or not at all. More than 100 industrial accidents occur in the country every year. In the emergence of problems, a negative role is played by the lack of employment contracts and the lack of guarantees for the safety of workers.

The site “Yeniavaz.com” discusses the issue of weddings. MP Vahid Ahmedov believes that weddings can be allowed if certain conditions are met, including the number of people present. In his opinion, the Operational Headquarters under the Cabinet of Ministers must make its decision in this regard.
