I Did Not Touch Any Passersby: Anna Hakobyan on Concerns Raised Online

“Today, as part of an awareness campaign organized in conjunction with the Ministry of Health of Armenia, I walked through the streets and shops of Yerevan, distributing leaflets prepared by the Ministry of Health of Armenia.” This is what Anna Hakobyan, the wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia, wrote on her Facebook page.

Regarding the concerns raised online, I would like to inform you that I have taken a coronavirus test twice; both tests were negative, thus I could not have been a source of infection.

I did not wear a mask because there is no need to wear one in open outdoor areas. I did not touch or hug any passersby; I maintained social distancing. I constantly sanitize my hands, including before, during, and after this event.

I do not have and have never had a cough, fever, or any other symptoms of the virus. Stay healthy.
