Armenia is taking a faster route to in-person classes than its Caucasus neighbors, but it is adopting a number of precautions to make sure that schools don’t spread the virus.

Many in the territory blame the rising numbers of coronavirus cases on the authorities’ decision to open up to Russian tourists.

The territory's public health officials have warned against opening up to tourism, and the arrival of tourists has coincided with a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases.

The prime minister said the once heavily infected country can now “break the back” of the novel coronavirus.

“It was the pandemic that hit the economy hard, not the lockdown itself.”

"Our strategy is to learn how to live alongside the virus."

As coronavirus cripples the territory’s tourism season and Russia has stopped sending aid, Abkhazia faces a 10 percent GDP decline this year.

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan cited the coronavirus for missing the big event, but the real reasons appear to be crises at home.

In several cases, the employers themselves have been the ones thwarting their workers from getting stimulus money.

Some patients have died because of a lack of hospital capacity, but the country has added several hundred more beds.

Pashinyan’s diagnosis highlights the country’s increasingly unsuccessful battle against the disease.

Two weeks after the country largely ended its lockdown, the number of coronavirus cases has shot up and the government is preparing to use a repurposed sports hall to treat patients.
