In the bustling city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, the coronavirus continues to pose a significant challenge. According to the latest reports from the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control, over 900 patients are currently undergoing stationary treatment, with more than 700 in a moderate condition.

A concerning trend has emerged, with those over 60 making up slightly more than 20% of the infected residents. However, it's important to note that a third of the infected residents are under the age of 40, highlighting the virus's indiscriminate nature.

The majority of the infections in Almaty can be traced back to contact with infected individuals. This includes both public places and private family gatherings, although the city authorities emphasize that most cases were infected through contact with infected persons rather than private family gatherings, public places, or public transport.

Public transport and family events continue to be high-risk areas for coronavirus infections. In fact, over half of the coronavirus-infected residents contracted the virus in public places. City authorities are urging residents and visitors to follow anti-virus rules and not violate quarantine to help curb the spread of the virus.

In a bid to control the spread, around 600 city residents are receiving home treatment for coronavirus. This initiative allows patients to recover in the comfort of their homes while minimizing the risk of transmission in hospitals.

While the number of new cases or recoveries is not specified in the current report, it's worth noting that a previous report suggested the possibility of a second lockdown in Kazakhstan. As the situation continues to evolve, it's crucial for everyone to stay vigilant and adhere to the necessary precautions.

In conclusion, while the situation in Almaty remains challenging, efforts are being made to manage the spread of the coronavirus. It's essential for everyone to follow the guidelines and take personal responsibility to help protect themselves and those around them.
