According to Kun.uz correspondent, in Urgut district, all grocery stores closed for one day from May 24 in order to avoid crowding and checkpoints have been organized in the central streets of the district and between villages.

In particular, Taylak, Akdarya, Payaryk, Pastdargom, Urgut districts, as well as the city of Juma and Samarkand were taken under strict control. There are 25 mobile raid groups working in the city of Samarkand.
