“Organizational, preparatory works are being carried out. There is a great need for protective, disinfectant supplies worldwide. It is true that professional institutions are provided with these items, but given the market gap, there is a great need for these materials. In this case it is important that our partners from the civil society field responded quickly to this need.I received an offer 3 days ago from “Armenian Caritas” to provid the assistanc. We immediately fixed our needs in terms of clothing and protective masks, which was quickly met by the organization. They will now be allocated to people working in risk zones. This support was very timely and important to people working in risk zones. ”- said the governor.

The Armenian Caritas also informed the governor of Shirak that the organization is ready to assist the province with professional nurse volunteers if needed.
