Moldova demands urgent holding of 5+2 meeting

Chisinau, 10 April /MOLDPRES/ - Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Cristina Lesnic told a today’s news briefing that she had demanded urgent holding of a meeting in the 5+2 format, in order to discuss aspects on the coronavirus pandemic in the Transnistrian region.  

The deputy PM for reintegration said that the reason for summoning the emergency meeting was dealing with the unjustified limiting by the Transnistrian side of access of Moldovan physicians and medical staff to the breakaway region. According to the official, 95 medical employees notified the Reintegration Policies Bureau about the fact that they were not able to move to the Transnistrian region to provide medical assistance to citizens living on the left bank of Dniester. ‘’We took efforts to summon the joint healthcare group on 9 April; yet, the Transnistrian side did not participate in it,’’ Lesnic stressed.    

Cristina Lesnic noted that, according to data held by the Reintegration Policies Bureau, there are 78 cases of infection with COVID-19 in the Transnistrian region, of which 74 ones with local transmission.  

At the same time, Lesnic also said that all teachers from those eight Latin-script education institutions from the Transnistrian region had received their salaries for last March.
