The checkpoints on the Kyrgyz-Chinese section of the state border are temporarily closed and people, vehicles and goods, except humanitarian goods, are not allowed through them. The Republican Operational Headquarters considered the issue of resuming freight transportation by road across the Kyrgyz-Chinese state border. The relevant state bodies of the Kyrgyz Republic were instructed to carry out preparatory work with the Chinese side to resume freight traffic at the Torugart and Irkeshtam checkpoints. When the flow of goods resumes, the exchange of goods will be carried out in accordance with the joint order of MTiD KR, MoH KR, GPS of the Kyrgyz Republic, Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture, GIViFB with RCC and GTS with RCC “On the mechanism for implementing the algorithm for replacing drivers when transporting ATS to / from China.”
This algorithm provides for the replacement of a truck driver arriving from China.
A “green corridor” has been created for food products imported into the Kyrgyz Republic, customs barriers, inspections and cost controls have been excluded.
The algorithm for the transport of goods through the checkpoint on the Kyrgyz-Kazakh state border
1. ARRIVAL OF GOODS
2. Conducting thermometry
3. Conducting a collection of an epidemiological history, filling out a questionnaire and taking obligations from drivers to comply with the self-isolation regime
4. Taking a sample for laboratory tests by a medical professional
5. In the case of a positive result of an express test, the driver is hospitalized in the infectious ward, the ATC is transferred to the sanitary zone for disinfection.
6. In case of a negative result of the express test, the telephone exchange undergoes external disinfection and is issued to undergo border control procedures.
7. The automatic telephone exchange goes to logistic warehouses for unloading cargo.
This algorithm was approved by a joint order of the Ministry of Transport and Roads of the Kyrgyz Republic (March 24, 2020 No. 103) and the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic (March 24, 2020 No. 183).

3. Conducting rapid testing
4. Filling out the questionnaire
