Armenia will extend the restrictions at Iran border until March 24. The Government has adopted a relevant decision today.
The restrictions will also apply to vehicles transporting cargo from Iran to Armenia and from Armenia to Iran.
The decision comes as neighboring Iran is battling a major coronavirus outbreak.
Tightened border control has been in place since February 24. Armenia has since operated two flights to repatriate 132 Armenian nationals.
One has tested positive for COVID-19. Thirty-two of his immediate contacts have been quarantined with none showing symptoms characteristic of the disease.
