Artsakh urges citizens to immediately cut short Italy trip and return home amid coronavirus outbreak
Taking into account the measures announced by the authorities of Italy aimed at preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Artsakh Foreign Ministry urges citizens to refrain from visiting Italy and the citizens currently in Italy to immediately cut short their trip and return home.
“We urge our citizens in Italy to contact the Consular Department of the Foreign Ministry of the Artsakh Republic and the Armenian Embassy in Italy,” the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
In an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection in Artsakh, the Foreign Ministry urges citizens and tourism companies operating in Artsakh to temporarily avoid travel to the Islamic Republic of Iran, EU countries, particularly Germany, France and Spain, the People's Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of South Korea, except in urgent cases.
All Artsakh citizens who are currently in those countries are advised to contact the Consular Department of the Artsakh Foreign Ministry or the embassies of Armenia in the countries to register their contact information and the period of their stay.
