A large-scale thermal screening will begin at Lilo Mall from today. The market will not be closed and will continue working in the usual regime, though.

Everybody will be subjected to thermal screening and the use of medical face masks and disinfection liquids will be strictly controlled. The purpose of the testing is identification of possible contacts with already confirmed cases.

As Amiran Gamkrelidze, the Head of the National Center for Disease Control said, in recent days a study of contacts revealed links with people employed at the Lilo market.
