“Many of our citizens are now working intensively to solve the problems associated with the effects of the global crisis and pandemic in Kazakhstan. Often we need personal meetings, visits to regions, so we are more at risk COVID-19. So I urge all Kazakhstanis to respect “personal quarantine”. Friends, be sure to follow the guidelines for the prevention”, – said the Minister.
