Uzbekistan was ready for the emergence of the coronavirus infection in its territory, Khabibulla Oqilov, an expert of the Anti-Coronavirus Staff at the Ministry of Health, said.

According to the expert, all the necessary special clothing, masks, disinfectants and equipment were brought in, and medical specialists were trained in special courses.
“Therefore, we had a high level of preparation even before the spread of the virus in Uzbekistan,” Oqilov emphasized.
