ArmInfo. After overcoming the coronavirus, the world seems to face even greater economic problems. A similar opinion was expressed by ArmInfo, member of the Armenian parliament from the block "My Step" Kristina Poghosyan.
"Serious economic problems at the global level are already noticeable. And as I understand it, overcoming the coronavirus epidemic will be accompanied by the need to counter the economic crisis. I am convinced that we need to rally even before this challenge. Otherwise, there will be even more losses," she said. The parliamentarian assesses the concern of society regarding the progressive spread of coronavirus in Armenia as quite natural. At the same time, in her opinion, it is necessary to demonstrate not anxiety, but caution and attentiveness, not succumbing to panic moods. Poghosyan personally shows the utmost caution in communicating with others. "It is necessary to understand that such caution, which seems unnecessary to many, has reasons. We must think not only about ourselves, but also about people at risk. I personally am practically in a state of isolation, participating only in parliament, with the aim of not endanger their relatives and colleagues in this group. And I ask our citizens to show social responsibility. We can have strong immunity, but the one to whom we will transmit the infection does not, "the deputy summed up The number of cases of coronavirus infection in Armenia on the eve increased by 41 and reached 235 people, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a live broadcast on Facebook.
