In Armenia, conscripts were banned from visiting relatives, taking leave of absence and vacations. The reason was the deterioration of the situation with the coronavirus in Armenia.
“Guided by the requirements of paragraph 17 of the decision of the Government of Armenia dated September 11, 2020, visits, leaves of leave and vacations of military conscripts of the Armed Forces of Armenia are prohibited (the exception is the death of a family member – wife, child, father, mother, sister, brother, grandfather, grandmothers), “the Defense Ministry said in a statement quoted by Sputnik Armenia.
As of March 17, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in Armenia increased to 180,141. 3282 people died from complications of the coronavirus.
