ການທ່ອງທ່ຽວແລະການທ່ອງທ່ຽວອິນເດຍ - ຄາຊັກສະຖານ: ຂໍ້ຕົກລົງແມ່ນຫຍັງ?

Kazakhstan launched the “Ashyq” project in February of this year to stop the spread of COVID-19 throughout the country. When entering public places, visitors must scan a special QR code to ascertain their health status. A “Green” status would determine that a visitor has a negative PCR test or a vaccination passport.

If more than 3 days have passed since the last PCR test, the status of an individual changes to “Blue.” A “Blue” status indicates that a visitor doesn’t have a PCR test or hasn’t had any contact with a COVID-19 patient. A “Yellow” status indicates that a visitor has come in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient. A “Red” status should warn that a visitor is registered as positive for COVID-19 in the database. People with “Green” and “Blue” statuses are free to visit all public places, whereas people with “Yellow” and “Red” statuses are denied access.

On May 21, 2021, the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Republic of Kazakhstan signed a resolution on the implementation of the Ashyq project in public places. These places include fitness clubs, yoga centers, spa centers, saunas, swimming pools, Arcades, bowling alleys, billiard hall, karaoke bars, cinemas, theaters, concert halls, philharmonic halls, summer playgrounds; public catering facilities, food courts, banquet halls (excluding canteens and street food vendors), interregional and urban seasonal (tourist) transportation, exhibitions, oceanariums, marathons and sporting events with spectators, Nur-Sultan International Airport, Almaty International Airport, Shymkent International Airport, Turkistan International Airport (starting from May 31, 2021), Aktau International Airport, and Kostanay International Airport (starting from June 7, 2021).
