Dear residents of the region!

The increase in the incidence of coronavirus infection is associated with the circulation of the "delta" strain on the territory of the Republic, as well as with a decrease in the discipline of the population to comply with quarantine measures.

According to the matrix for assessing the epidemiological situation in the regions, since May 17 of this year, the East Kazakhstan region has been in the "green" zone. In the latest resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the region, restrictive measures on the territory of the region were extended from July 2 to July 15, 2021 inclusive.

Currently, the key to a quick exit from the restrictions is vaccination against coronavirus infection, in which we now live.

VACCINATION

On July 1, 2021, amendments and additions were made to the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Republic of Kazakhstan, according to which a restriction of access to full-time work is introduced for employees who have not received vaccination against COVID-19 (with the exception of persons with permanent medical contraindications and who have been ill with COVID-19 within the last 3 months), the following organizations/facilities:

Dear residents of the region! Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the medical service has been working with an overload. A state of emergency was imposed, and we were living in lockdown mode. In order to prevent a repetition of these situations, I ask everyone who is not indifferent to their health and the health of their loved ones to observe a mask regime, take a vaccine and not organize events with a mass crowd of people. If the incidence rate does not decrease in the future, we will be forced to tighten restrictive measures.
