"The issue of early detection of coronavirus has not been relaxed; surveillance is conducted everywhere. Since the beginning of January, Almaty has registered 302 laboratory-confirmed cases of coronavirus among the population. In the past seven days, there have been 9 cases, which is twice the number of cases identified in the previous week," she said.

She noted that there are currently no coronavirus vaccines available in the city.
"The Ministry of Healthcare is taking measures to ensure the supply of vaccines to the country," the epidemiologist said.
An earlier directive issued by Kazakhstan's acting Chief Sanitary Doctor, Nurkan Sadvakasov, has reinstated the mask mandate for healthcare workers in hospitals.
