The SPKC draws attention to the fact that people returning from the trip should evaluate their daily progress, monitor their health for 14 days and, if symptoms occur, call 113. Also, these 14 days should refrain from visiting seniors or meeting people with chronic illnesses.
According to the SPKC, 41 laboratory examinations on “Covid-19” have been performed in Latvia during the last 24 hours, but in total 332 persons have been examined so far.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Gebreiesus announced on March 11 that the outbreak of the new coronavirus had reached the level of a global pandemic.
Taking into account the above, the Prime Minister of Latvia Krišjānis Kariņš (JV) has convened a meeting of the CPS today at 2 pm, the Prime Minister’s Press Secretary Sandris Sabajevs informed LETA.
