Media Review for July 23

The situation with COVID-19, the attitude towards the quarantine regime, and the situation on the meat market are topics of today's media.

The official newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the gradual easing of the quarantine regime in connection with COVID-19. Recently, the number of people infected has decreased significantly, and the number of people who recovered has increased. Quarantine prevents the spread of the virus, and the reason for this is citizens' compliance with the established rules. It is expected that after 5 August there will be another stage of easing the quarantine regime.
