The situation with coronavirus in the country and the decrease in the Kura River water level are the topics of today's media.
The official newspaper Azerbaijan recalls preventive measures in the country, which helped to keep the situation. Five modular hospitals have been built, and five more are expected. There are 23 laboratories in the country.
The number of daily infections reached 500 people, so citizens must strictly abide by the established quarantine rules.
The website Bizimyol.info.az writes about changes to the housing code.
On the basis of social rental agreements, low-income citizens, including low-income youth, in need of housing will be provided with housing from the state or municipal housing stock on the grounds established by the Code and other legislative acts.
However, the implementation of such a law without an implementation mechanism is unrealistic. Experts note that such rules already existed, and just now their borders have been expanded. They wonder how all this will work.
The website Oxu.az writes about a decrease in the Kura River water level and the causes of this phenomenon. The water level in the part of the river passing through the territory of the Salyan region has significantly decreased. Even the wells in the plots dried up, the author writes.
Over the past 10 days, the water level in the Kura has decreased by 1-1.5 meters. Islets have already appeared on the river. Currently, the pumps are not working at full capacity, which affects the use of river water for irrigation, and therefore reduces productivity. The situation will remain critical until the problem of regulating the water in the Mingechevir reservoir is resolved.
