[RUS] Центральная Азия переживает гуманитарный кризис, вызванный COVID-19 (или “КВИ”, коронавирусная инфекция). Замедленная реакция государственных органов на пандемию, которая к тому же усугублена нехваткой эпидемиологических данных, затрудняет борьбу с вирусом КВИ (SARS-CoV2) в регионе. На данном портале мы собираем и обсуждаем научные публикации, посвященные пандемии в странах Центральной Азии, с целью улучшить качество информации о текущих усилиях по контролю COVID-19 в регионе.
