“All types of public events in Uzbekistan will be suspended” – Republican Special Commission

The Republican Special Commission has decided to suspend all types of public events, sports competitions, as well as concerts, festivals, theater and film programs in Uzbekistan, regardless of whether they are in open spaces or indoor complexes.

Sports competitions were allowed without fans. The Ministry of Health reported about this.

This restriction is being introduced against the background of the deteriorating epidemiological situation with coronavirus in the country.

It should be recalled that the concert-performance program in indoor palaces of culture has been suspended since May 1 this year.

Earlier, the Republican Special Commission banned access to Tashkent by road from June 28 unless absolutely necessary. Later, it introduced a regime of operation of restaurants and entertainment facilities from 8:00 to 20:00. 

Prior to that, a June 23 ruling barred bus drivers and subway guards from allowing unmasked passengers into the cabin of vehicles.
