The number of recovered - 972 (more than 81%).
According to statistics, the number of calls by citizens to an ambulance due to high body temperature (which is one of the symptoms of infection) in June decreased and was almost equal to the same period last year. Comparative data at the instruction of the President was presented to the participants in the meeting of the Operational Headquarters by the Head of the State Institution "Republican Center for Emergency Medicine" Yevgeny Kalalb. The statistics of the last three days showed that 130 people go to ambulance on average per day, 14 of them with high fever.
While the number of calls to the ambulance decreases, the number of calls to the hotline of the crisis center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to grow. More than one hundred thousand appeals of Pridnestrovians were accepted by specialists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the beginning of the hotline. A large flow of calls is connected with questions of citizens about the possibility of traveling outside the republic. The reasons are different: the need to urgently go for treatment to another country - such requests are considered first of all, requests for travel to neighboring states for employment or work - this issue at the meeting required a detailed discussion. Ruslan Mova informed the audience about the growth of diseases among Pridnestrovians who work at enterprises in Moldova. For citizens and legal entities working at Moldovan enterprises with outbreaks of disease, the Operational Headquarters has tightened the requirements for issuing permits to cross the border. The facts of the disease were revealed at another enterprise in Moldova, where 190 citizens of Pridnestrovie work. Among them, there are already three infected with COVID-19. These are residents of Dubossary and Bendery. Earlier, the permits to cross the border issued to employees of these two Moldovan enterprises were canceled, and the workers themselves will be kept in self-isolation for 14 days under medical supervision.
