Spread of the corona virus in Tajikistan
The inhabitants of Tajikistan are also affected by the corona pandemic and the spread of the Sars-Covid-19 virus. By August 10th, 2020, 7827 infected persons and 62 deaths have been reported in the country. The first confirmed infections were reported on April 30th, 2020, which is the date of the official notification. An additional 10-14 days are calculated for noticing one's own infection, the doctor's appointment, the laboratory test and, above all, the period from the infection until the first symptoms appear. The country reached its peak so far on May 28th with 463 new infected persons.
The first graph shows the number of infected persons reported. The second graph shows the number of deaths.
Mortality rate of infected persons
From the previously infected and deceased people, in Tajikistan results in a mortality rate of 0.8%. However, it should be borne in mind that death occurs an average of 19 days after the first symptoms appear. The time of the actual infection is therefore followed by several days until a person affected has a medical test carried out and the results are available. In order to quantify mortality more precisely, one would therefore have to compare the deaths that have occurred to date with those reported 7,451 infected up to 10 days ago. This gives in Tajikistan a new mortality rate of 0.8%.Due to the current corona pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers daily. A list of all infected and dead people by country can be found on our Corona virus topic page.

Medical supplies
The medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in Tajikistan is above average, but is not as good as the average within the EU. The country provides 4.8 hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. The worldwide average here is 2.7 beds and within the EU there are even 5.6 beds for every 1000 inhabitants.With about 15,800 physicians in Tajikistan, there are about 1.70 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1000 inhabitants and in the EU even 3.57.
Through medical care, the mortality rate of major known diseases can be reduced as far as possible. For example, only about 25 percent of all people who suffer from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chylomicron retention disease (CRD) currently die.
Supply with drinking water
The graph shows the development of the drinking water supply in Tajikistan. The direct and permanent supply of tested drinking water is shown in green. The red line shows the percentage of the population that is supplied with additional measures. In this case all origins such as tested springs or supplied water are included.
Only around 48 percent of the population has access to an immediately available running water supply. At least via springs and wells within a maximum distance of 30 minutes or supplied water, 81% of the population is supplied with largely clean drinking water. In a global comparison, only about 71% of the population has direct access to tested and always available drinking water. Within the European Union, this share is 97%. Only in a few countries does the proportion fall below 10%.
