YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS. The COVID-19 health pass will come into effect from January 22, requiring people to produce either a vaccination certificate or a negative recent test result upon entering restaurants, hotels, gyms, libraries, museums, theaters, cinemas and other similar venues, the Armenian health ministry said.

People who want to enter such venues will have to present either a vaccination certificate against COVID-19 or a negative PCR test result administered in the last 72 hours or a negative rapid antigen test result (laboratory administered, ARMED system) administered in the last 24 hours.
