In a statement, the diplomatic mission strongly advises Uzbek citizens to take precautionary measures, such as avoiding unnecessary trips outdoors, steering clear of large gatherings, and limiting visits to public places.
Students studying in these regions are recommended by the diplomatic mission to temporarily switch to online learning if such an option is available.
