The highest number of cases is observed in Bishkek, Osh, as well as in the Naryn, Issyk-Kul, and Chui regions. Of the total number of cases, 63.7% are children under 14 years old.
Vaccination against influenza has been completed at a rate of 90.5%. The country purchased 63,734 doses of the "Grippol+" vaccine. Immunization is also available in private medical institutions, where the cost of the service ranges from 400 to 1,000 soms.
To improve influenza diagnostics, an additional 10,000 test systems have been delivered to laboratories in the country.
Due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation, the Ministry of Health has introduced a mask mandate in medical institutions and restricted visits to hospitals. In kindergartens, schools, and universities, measures for disinfection and ventilation are being strengthened, and monitoring of illness among children is being conducted.
The Ministry of Health reminds about the importance of:
- Vaccination as the most effective way to protect against severe influenza.
- Consulting a doctor when experiencing a fever and symptoms of ARVI, as well as the necessity to stay at home.
- Observing hygiene standards and wearing masks in public places to reduce the risk of infection.
The epidemiological situation remains under control and stable. Monitoring of ARVI, influenza, and COVID-19 morbidity continues.
