ArmInfo. "We hope that from about the second half of April to the beginning of May, Armenia will gradually return to a full life," said Deputy Prime Minister,  Commandant of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Avinyan at a press  conference on March 31. Such a development of the scenario, he said,  is possible under the condition of impeccable implementation of  preventive measures and maintaining the isolation regime.

In particular, Avinyan said that at the moment Armenia is moving to  the 3rd stage of the Commandant's strategy, within the framework of  which the toughest restrictions will operate. <We intend to implement  all possible restrictions regarding freedom of movement, economic  activity, we will oblige the citizens to strictly observe the  sanitary and epidemic rules and safety standards of those economic  entities that must continue to work, increase control mechanisms and  apply various penalties, "the Commandant explained. In the next 10  days of the toughened regime, in order to increase control, Avinyan  said that additional forces will join the law enforcement agencies.

As part of the 4th stage of the strategy, which will begin on April  14, technological tools will be used to increase the effectiveness of  preventive measures. <I want to say that these tools are ready, we  are only waiting for the adoption of bills in the National Assembly  of the Republic of Armenia, which will allow us to effectively  identify the possible circle of communication of patients, and  monitor compliance with the strict regime of their isolation, even if  the latter have absolutely no symptoms of infection'', the Deputy  Prime Minister said. He emphasized that Armenia follows the  experience of those countries which, thanks to their technical  equipment, have been able to carry out effective work to isolate the  population. In this vein, he referred to Singapore, where today,  thanks to the use of technological tools, all enterprises and  educational institutions are fully operational.
