Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Under the chairmanship of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a video conference is being held on the enforcement of judicial decisions.

At the beginning of the event, the situation in the country related to the coronavirus pandemic was analyzed.

In particular, it was noted that over the past 8 months, sufficient experience has been accumulated in combating COVID-19, medical workers have acquired the necessary skills for this.

As you know, quarantine requirements have been gradually relaxed while maintaining strict control over the virus distribution chain. However, given the situation in the world and neighboring countries, the fight against this disease in Uzbekistan cannot be stopped for a minute, because the threat has not yet passed, it was noted at the meeting.

To date, the number of detected cases in our country has exceeded 70 thousand, almost 68 thousand people (96 percent) have recovered, and 599 (0.9 percent) have died.

Khokims, sector leaders and decision-makers in the health care system have a number of tasks.

First of all, one should constantly analyze and react to the situation accordingly. In particular, these leaders must, at least two days a week, deal exclusively with combating coronavirus on their territory, hold headquarters meetings, and regularly report to the Republican Special Commission.

- I emphasize once again: this disease does not forgive indifference. At the same time, we must continue to live and work with dignity, relying on the vast experience we have accumulated during the pandemic and comprehensive conclusions, the head of state said.

Today, in 89 institutions throughout Uzbekistan, 17,500 beds have been allocated for patients with COVID-19. Currently, 6,570 patients are being treated in these institutions. The bed capacity is 16% in Karakalpakstan, 10% in Khorezm, 11% in Kashkadarya, 19% in the Namangan region, and 38% in the republic as a whole. Huge amounts of money are spent on the maintenance of this fund.

In this regard, the responsible persons were instructed to thoroughly study the activities of the hospitals designated for the coronavirus and optimize them.

As you know, a number of decrees and resolutions were adopted aimed at cardinal improvement of the education system and the development of the health sector, and recently, separate video conferences were held on these two issues.

- I am concerned about the implementation of these decrees and resolutions, how the khokims organize work in this direction. Until the khokims connect to the work of the modern-minded and self-sacrificing heads of public education and health care departments, they will not be able to achieve practical results, the President stressed.

It is indicated that the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the khokims of the regions and the city of Tashkent should set a personal example to the lower-level leaders in the implementation of the reforms begun and twice a week to carry out instructions regarding school education and medicine.
