The new administrative duty will enter into force on June 10.
On June 7, the Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance Department under the Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan approved additional sanitation rules that set a compulsory self-isolation period for persons infected with coronavirus and their contacts. A significant fine will be introduced for those breaching self-isolation rules.
The new administrative duty will enter into force on June 10. State-of-the-art technologies of the Ashuq platform will help identify offenders who breach the ironclad self-isolation rules. The data received from this platform will provide evidence that citizens with the ‘dangerous’ status have visited public or other crowded places listed in the Ashuq database.
If there is evidence that an infected person, who should be self-isolating, is in breach of the self-isolation regulations, a case of administrative offences will be initiated. Citizens, who have tested positive for coronavirus and deliberately posed a risk of infection to the others, will face a fine equal 30 minimum wage, 85,510 tenge, or US$200.
The Ashuq platform automatically sends information to the unified data storage of the Ministry of Digital Development.
