]]> REACT-C19 project, which aimed to support Azerbaijan in rapidly scaling up essential capacities for COVID-19 readiness and response finished its work in designated hospitals of Baku and regions after a 3-month marathon.

The project covered 12 hospitals in 5 regions - Baku, Ganja, Shamkir, Agdash, and Goranboy in 4 sprints of approximately two weeks. Within the project, 1185 attendances of health workers in trainings were achieved in total in a variety of subjects including management of severe COVID patients, interpretation of COVID laboratory results, etc. The project facilitated the establishment of  Infection Control Committees in 5 hospitals, setting an example for others to follow.

The Hospital Readiness Checklist of WHO implemented from the onset as a component of monitoring and evaluation of hospitals resulted in significant improvements especially in strengthening infection prevention and control measures, management of patients, surveillance and incident management across a majority of hospitals in the project. The bottlenecks and barriers to improvement were reported systematically to authorities together with recommendations.  

In addition to supporting readiness in 12 hospitals, a Training Center was established within the New Clinic. Between 12-30 June, 119 healthcare workers participated in the trainings on how to protect themselves from COVID-19.

REACT-C19 project resulted in the strengthening of collaboration among WHO, Heydar Aliyev Foundation, State Agency on Mandatory Health Insurance, TABIB and the Ministry of Health as well as other institutions such as Azerbaijan Medical University, Public Health, and Reform Center and Azerbaijan State Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education with special emphasis on building human resources capacity through targeted trainings.

As the REACT-C19 project closes, many of the project consultant doctors decided to stay in Azerbaijan for some more time to continue to support the country.

]]> "The World Health Organization has recommended use of a medical mask. An amendment, suggested for the violation of requirements regarding use of medical mask has been discussed at the online meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy and State Building", member of the Committee on Legal Policy and State Building Kamal Jafarov told BAKU.NEWS.

The project has been recommended for the plenary meeting of the Azerbaijani Parliament (Milli Majlis).

Note that according to the amendment, suggested to the Code of Administrative Offenses, physical entities will be fined in the amount of AZN 50, authoritative persons AZN 100, while legal entities AZN 200 due to violation of requirements, determined by relevant executive bodies regarding the use of individual means, protecting respiratory system, as well as non-prevention of violation of these requirements by authoritative persons during periods of anti-epidemics, sanitary-hygiene and quarantine regimes. Physical entities will be fined in the amount of AZN 100, authoritative persons AZN 200, while legal entities AZN 400 due to the recommitment of the offense by the reprimanded person from the date of the decision on the administrative reprimand comes into force until the end of the period of anti-epidemics, sanitary-hygiene and quarantine regimes.

K. Jafarov noted that he considers correct the necessity of use of medical mask: “Because some people don’t know they have virus in their body while being a virus carrier. In such a case, they may unknowingly infect other people as well. The main purpose of use of the medical mask is not to infect the surrounding people with the virus unknowingly. A number of opinions exist in the society telling that the medical mask doesn’t prevent spread of virus, and the expensive masks with special respirator should be used. But these opinions are wrong. The doctors think that even an ordinary medical mask reduces virus spreading risk by up to 90 percent. Therefore I request our citizens to comply with the decisions adopted by the Task Force under the Cabinet of Ministers for the sake of their personal health and the common welfare of the community”.

Digital work passes for transport trips will be renewed automatically.

City parks and green areas, (except for Zaryadye, children's and sports grounds), stadiums and other sports facilities for training members of Moscow and Russia, will be opened. Multi-service centers, dry-cleaning reception points, laundries, workshops for repairing shoes and clothing, and providing other household services that do not require long-term contact between employees and customers will resume working.
