Measures to protect against the corona virus at the state level, the possible impact of the virus on the country's economy, and business problems in Azerbaijan are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about protection against the corona virus. According to the author, the country does not conduct educational work on this topic, which contributes to the growth of anxiety among the population.
The state should strengthen measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Border points are switching to a special enhanced regime, and citizens entering the country are subjected to serious checks.
Individuals disseminate false information of a provocative nature.
The website Moderator.az writes that the danger from the corona virus threatens not only the economy of Azerbaijan, but the entire world economy. The greatest danger comes from neighboring Iran, therefore, serious sanitary measures are needed on the border with this country, with which Azerbaijan has serious economic and humanitarian relations.
The website Müsavat.com discusses the situation with the disappearance of masks and alcohol from pharmacies and their price increase. In the world they are handed out to the population for free, but do not increase the cost at times.
The website Oxu.az writes about business problems in Azerbaijan. Experts believe that the difficult situation of business in the country is explained by the lack of professional management. There is also no corporate governance, which also impedes business development and maximizing profits. Theft is also hindered by business theft, internal corruption, and kickbacks. Another problem hampering the development of entrepreneurship is the lack of long-term strategic thinking.
