In principle, immediately after the onset of the disease, all necessary preventive measures were taken from day one. As a result of that, we are getting out of this situation with little losses. Of course, all organizational issues had to be addressed at the required level, and we did that. We managed to quickly adapt our hospital fund to the disease situation. Our doctors have done a great job. As a result of the tireless work of our doctors, the number of deaths from this disease is low in Azerbaijan.”
