Celebratory remarks on Almaty's Independence Day were made, stressing the importance of adhering to the quarantine regulations.
In the heart of Kazakhstan, the heads of the Baqytty Otbasy centers in Almaty and Nauryzbai districts have called upon residents to prioritise health and safety during the upcoming festive season.
Sana Zhandai, the head of the Nauryzbai district's Baqytty Otbasy center, and Zulfia Baizakova, the head of the city's Baqytty Otbasy center, emphasised the importance of adhering to quarantine measures during the upcoming Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan and New Year celebrations.
Their messages, reported by Almaty.tv, encouraged Almaty residents to celebrate family holidays at home with loved ones, avoid crowded places, and maintain social distancing. Both leaders also highlighted the significance of unity and solidarity in the face of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The online briefing, which took place at the Regional Communications Service platform, was organised to congratulate Almaty residents on the upcoming Independence Day. During the briefing, Z. Baizakova called for citizens to adhere to quarantine rules and preventive measures, while Sana Zhandai urged them to protect themselves and their loved ones.
While specific COVID-19 preventive guidelines for the Independence Day events in Almaty have not been announced yet, it is likely that such celebrations would involve social distancing, mandatory mask-wearing, hand sanitising stations, possible PCR testing or vaccination proof requirements, and the promotion of remote or virtual events to reduce crowding.
As the Baqytty Otbasy centers are known for supporting family and social well-being, it is expected that they would advise citizens to follow these preventive measures strictly to protect public health during such national celebrations.
For authoritative and current guidance, residents are advised to consult official Kazakhstan health ministry announcements or Baqytty Otbasy communications directly. If needed, I can help monitor relevant sources for updates or provide general COVID-19 safety advice for public celebrations.
Sana Zhandai and Zulfia Baizakova, in their capacity as heads of Baqytty Otbasy centers, have urged Almaty residents to prioritize health and safety during the upcoming Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan and New Year celebrations, reminding everyone of the importance of unity and solidarity in managing the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Given that the Baqytty Otbasy centers are known for advocating for family and social well-being, their advice is likely to emphasize the adherence to specific COVID-19 preventive guidelines, possibly including social distancing, mask-wearing, hand sanitizing, and the promotion of remote or virtual events, as a means to protect public health during such national celebrations.
