The main infectious disease player: in Uzbekistan, cases of infection are not underestimated

In Uzbekistan, deliberate understatement of cases of coronavirus infection for public peace is not practiced, said Erkin Musabaev, director of the Research Institute of Virology, chief infectious disease specialist at the Ministry of Health of the Republic, in an interview with Gazeta.uz on July 3. "I can definitely say that there are no installations, as before, now, the specialist said. At the same time, there is a true incidence and recorded. The latter will always be lower, said Musabaev. Until recently, all patients with coronavirus were taken to hospital, including asymptomatic forms of manifestation, he said. The infectious disease player noted that in such conditions there were concealments so as not to record the case. According to the news agency, since July 5, patients with a mild form of coronavirus in Uzbekistan were allowed to be treated at home. Previously, all patients, regardless of symptoms, were referred for hospitalization.
