Uzbekistan in combating coronavirus pandemic (international and national aspects).

The head of Uzbekistan made a number of important initiatives at the summit to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
Firstly, the President of Uzbekistan proposed creating a permanent system of monitoring, analysis and forecasting of the epidemiological situation within the framework of the Turkic Council. The pandemic we encountered showed that no one is safe from new outbreaks of infectious diseases. One should be prepared for such situations, have well-coordinated tools for anticipation and response, including at the regional and international levels.
Secondly, Uzbekistan proposed to establish joint activities of the ministries of health and leading medical institutions of Turkic-speaking countries to exchange information and experience in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dangerous infectious diseases.
The results of this work will make it possible to quickly study the main characteristics of the disease and methods of its treatment, solve the issues of supplies and production of antiviral protection products, as well as laboratory tools for testing the population. Considering that these actions should be taken immediately, Uzbekistan proposed holding the first video conference with the participation of leading specialized specialists, which is already being prepared and will be held in the near future.
Thirdly, the President of Uzbekistan initiated the establishment of the Ad Hoc Pandemic Coordination Group under the Secretariat of the Turkic Council. This group should establish close working contacts with the national headquarters in our countries for countering the pandemic in order to keep abreast and be able to interact quickly. It was also proposed to create a separate scientific and information resource on the CCTS website.
The resource should not only reliably inform about the situation in our countries. It is important to exchange experience on various methods of communicating to the population the rules of behavior in quarantine, the requirements of disease prevention.
Fourthly, one of the key problems in the current crisis is the uninterrupted supply of the population with necessary food, medicines and medicines.
To solve problems in the field of logistics and transport, practical assistance in the transportation of goods under quarantine and border crossing in a simplified manner, the head of state proposed to create a working group under the leadership of the CCTS under the leadership of ministers of transport.
Fifth, understanding the global nature of the threat that the world is facing, the President of Uzbekistan separately emphasized the need to strengthen international cooperation and support the activities of multilateral organizations. In particular, he advocated further strengthening the status and mandate of the World Health Organization, establishing partnerships of this organization with the CCTS.
It is important to note that all the proposals of the President of Uzbekistan are reflected in the final Declaration of the extraordinary summit of the CCTS.
As President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted in his speech at the Summit of the CCTS: We all well understand that no state can cope with this terrible pandemic alone. The guidelines for action for us should be the principles of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance. Together we are capable of much.
