Teachers in several schools of Armenia, mostly those who are planning pregnancy and do not want to get vaccinated, have already expressed a desire to leave their job, former lawmaker Sofia Hovsepyan said on Thursday.

According to a decision of the Armenian government, employees will have to either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit the results of a PCR test every 14 days at their own expense starting from October 1.

“Do you imagine what could happen? There are schools where 5-10 teachers will resign at once,” she wrote on Facebook.

“Are you going to fine the employer? Fine, shut down all working structures and bring the country to a final destruction,” Hovsepyan said.

She says the issue is important also due to a teacher shortage in Armenia.

“I’m not an anti-vaxxer, but simply warn of the imminent danger,” Hovsepyan added.
