The akim of NKR: «We have enough food supplies, we produce masks and antiseptics»

An online briefing was held on regional television channels with the participation of the regional akim. Kumar Aksakalov told the North Kazakhstan people about the situation in the region.

At the moment, there are no infected in NKR. People arriving in the region from high-risk countries are obligatorily sent to quarantine. By the way, special tests can identify infected in 4 to 6 hours, the tests are available in the medical facilities of the region.

Sanitary and disinfection measures have been strengthened in public transport, crowded places and in industries.

«To provide residents of the region with masks, the work of local enterprises has been reoriented. The production of masks began. Already today, the factory of household chemicals in Petropavlovsk produces antibacterial soap. We also organize the production of disinfectants in the region», — Kumar Aksakalov said.

The head of the region urged the North Kazakhstan citizens to refrain from traveling to other regions, as well as to minimize the movement of residents within the region.

«The region has an ample supply of food products. There is no reason for concern and there is no need to stock up on large amounts of food», — Kumar Aksakalov said.

The Public Service Centers are crowded places. Today, people do not need to go to public service centers to obtain a particular certificate. Most services have been converted to electronic format. However, the older generation has not yet mastered digital technology and is experiencing difficulties. The akim of the region called on young people to help their older relatives.

«When a state of emergency was introduced, many citizens were forced to go to public service centers to obtain passports. Now, there is no such need, since there is a ban on leaving our country for our citizens. Do not visit PSCs without urgent need, this is all for your good,» Kumar Aksakalov said.

Also, according to the akim of the region, it is important to remain calm, strictly observe personal hygiene, self-isolation, caring for yourself and your loved ones is important. Having the slightest symptoms, you must contact the call center at 1406 or 103.
