Seventy-four fresh cases of COVID-19 reported among SCO members
** scoring a fresh take on the rising COVID-19 cases in North Kazakhstan 🦠**
North Kazakhstan region struggles battle rising coronavirus cases, with 74 new infections reported recently, as reported by Almaty.tv correspondents.
The region slips into the "red zone." To combat this surge, they're establishing a fifth lab for PCR testing in Petropavlovsk, boosting their daily testing capacity to around 3000 tests.
As Nurlan Aymanov, acting head of the regional health department, explains, "the four existing labs are currently conducting between 1200 to 1500 tests per day. During the first wave, their capacity didn't exceed 800. Now, residents of North Kazakhstan are receiving test results faster. James Bond-style waiting times have dropped from 8-10 days to a mere 3 days."
While the data on pediatric diseases in the North Kazakhstan region is limited, it's previously shown higher rates of certain diseases compared to other regions in Kazakhstan[1]. However, Kazakhstan's Health Ministry reported a decrease in overall COVID-19 cases as of May 29, 2025[2]. This, unfortunately, doesn't shed light on the current status of North Kazakhstan.
To get the most accurate and current data, it's essential to consult local health authorities or the Kazakhstan Health Ministry directly._Stay informed, stay safe!🚀💉🌈** Keep an eye on those test results and keep masking up, eh? 😉
In an effort to combat the rising COVID-19 cases in North Kazakhstan, the region is expanding its testing capacity by establishing a fifth lab for PCR testing in Petropavlovsk. As residents receive test results faster than during the first wave, it's crucial to continue following health and wellness guidelines, such as wearing masks, to minimize medical-conditions related to the virus.
