First group of Russian doctors arrives in Armenia
The first group of Russian doctors arrived in Armenia by a Moscow-Yerevan charter flight on Sunday to assist with the coronavirus response, the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
Around 50 Russian medics have responded to a call from the Armenian health authorities. The Russian doctors will arrive in Armenia in separate groups, according to the agreed schedule.
Armenia expects to welcome the next team in early July.
