COVID-19 pandemic in Turkmenistan

There are no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Turkmenistan (population c. 6 million).  

The government has worked to control information about the virus, and experts suspect that it may be spreading in the country unreported.

On 29 February 2020, Turkmenistan began refusing the entry of citizens from countries affected by the virus. On 5 March three foreign travelers, two of them diplomats of an Arab country, were denied entry when they flew from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Their flight was diverted to Türkmenabat and after arriving at Ashgabat, they were all put on a flight to Istanbul. 

Dr. Catherine Smallwood, head of the WHO/Europe mission, during a briefing following a 10-day mission visit to Turkmenistan, did not inform about the detection of COVID-19 infections in the country.В ВОЗ оценили ситуацию с коронавирусом в ТуркменистанеВОЗ не выявила случаи заражения коронавирусом в ТуркменистанеВОЗ оценила систему здравоохранения в Туркмении в условиях COVID-19
