Media Review for February 29, 2020
The leading topic of the country's Internet resources was the detection of corona virus in Azerbaijan, as well as its threat to the country's economy.
The website Musavat.com writes about the proposal of the economist Gubad Ibadoglu to stop schooling and universities before Novruz Bayram because of the threat of corona virus. He offers citizens to send proposals to the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Education on this subject, given the high probability of the spread of corona virus.
The website Oxu.az publishes expert opinions on risk groups for corona virus infection, on the characteristics of the disease, and on the behavior of the infected person.
For children under 10 years of age, this virus is not deadly. It is severely tolerated by the elderly, as well as people with chronic diseases (diabetes, oncology, renal failure, weak immunity). There is no antiviral treatment for this disease.
The website Sfera.az discusses the impact of corona virus on the economy with expert Rashad Hasanov.
The world economy will weaken, and therefore the export potential of Azerbaijan will decrease, that is, incomes will decrease. Since the spread of corona virus, the price of oil has fallen by $ 11, which means a daily damage of $ 6.5-7 million.
The pressure on the manat will intensify, and the country's economy is not ready for such difficult situations.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about work to improve the road infrastructure of the capital - in particular, on the expansion of the road at the northern entrance to Baku - from the bus station to the Masazir circle.
Work has also begun on the expansion of roads between the metro stations January 20 and Bus Station. –0----
