Preventive and anti-epidemic measures are being carried out in Kyrgyzstan to prevent the spread of seasonal influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARI). Special attention is being paid to schools and kindergartens, as mass interaction among children in these organizations can facilitate the rapid spread of viruses.

Attendance Monitoring and Morbidity Statistics

To ensure a timely response to the epidemic situation, specialized services conduct regular attendance monitoring in general education and preschool organizations. As of November 9, 2026, a certain level of class absences has been recorded.
