Virus secondary as civilians try to survive Karabakh battle

Even in the Azerbaijani town of Teter, on the frontline of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh and repeatedly hit by Armenian shelling over the last days, the coronavirus is a threat that is far from forgotten. “As we have been repeatedly saying, Covid-19 does not respect borders or lines,” WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic warned last week.Azerbaijan was recording fewer than 150 daily infections between the start of September and mid-October. The daily case load shot past 600 this week.

But their resources are meagre and home remedies passed down for generations are still trusted –even if squash is not a Covid-19 miracle cure. Terter’s basement dwellers only go up to their apartments – many of them with their outer walls blown out and scattered with waist-high debris – to shower and heat up some food.Their contact with the outside world is mostly limited to visits from government aid workers and a few relatives from surrounding villages who drop by to help out.The basements have no running water and hygiene is limited to occasional splashes of disinfectant.
