The Governor of the region drew attention to the fact that our region is a border area and it was the first cases of coronavirus infection that were imported from abroad. As you know, the infection was detected in citizens who worked in Russia, transit drivers, and citizens of Uzbekistan. Almost from April to June, all cases were imported, only since June there were mass infections among the population of the region. In order to protect the local population from infection on the borders of our region, the Governor of the region Of Iskaliev instructed to strengthen control at checkpoints.</p> <p>Currently, in the region at 4 auto-crossings on the border with the Russian Federation, there are sanitary and quarantine posts where epidemiologists conduct questionnaires and thermometry of people who have entered, check for certificates. Every day, about 2000 people cross the border with the Russian Federation through auto crossings.

According to resolution No. 54 of October 2, 2020 "On further strengthening measures to prevent coronavirus infection at checkpoints on the state border of the Republic of Kazakhstan", all persons who arrived in the Republic of Kazakhstan through checkpoints across the State border of the Republic of Kazakhstan on railway, sea, river transport and auto crossings pass thermometry, questionnaires and submit a certificate of passing the COVID-19 test by PCR, selected no earlier than 72 hours at the time of crossing the state border of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Arrived citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the absence of a Certificate are subject to isolation in a quarantine hospital for 2 days for laboratory examination for COVID-19 by PCR. Quarantine for 2 days is carried out in order to carry out anti-epidemic and preventive measures aimed at early detection of potential carriers of COVID-19 among the arrived persons and for their further control over the non-proliferation of coronavirus infection among the residents of the region. Persons who are not citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the absence of a Certificate are not allowed to enter.

Given the deterioration of the coronavirus situation around the world, it is necessary to strictly follow the quarantine rules and adhere to all security measures. Now we see that there are people who are not serious about the situation. We must not allow an increase in the spread of infection, – said the Governor of the region Gali Iskaliev.
