Speaking at a cabinet meeting in Yerevan, Health Minister Arsen Torosian warned that the authorities are struggling to keep up with the continuing spread of the disease.

In particular, he said, although the total number of intensive-care beds has risen by over 30 percent in the last two weeks virtually all of them are occupied now.

The number of patients currently undergoing treatment for COVID-19 in Armenia is 10,728.

According to official data, 101 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 have died for other reasons.

In total, 89,992 COVID-19 tests have been administered in Armenia.
