“…In a number of countries, patients with complaints of loss of taste and low perception of odors were observed in 2/3 of infected patients. Many clinicians indicate the presence of gastroenterological symptoms in hospitalized patients in 26-50.5% of cases, including diarrhea in a third of cases [25,26]. Moreover, in most patients, gastrointestinal symptoms are combined with bronchopulmonary or with fever.…”

“…Moreover, in most patients, gastrointestinal symptoms are combined with bronchopulmonary or with fever. But only 3% of patients have abdominal pain at the beginning of the disease [26], which suggests that some patients have exacerbations of chronic diseases against the background of a coronavirus infection clinic, especially since clinically pronounced symptoms of the underlying disease are more common in the elderly, among whom it is difficult to find the absence of chronic pathologies of the digestive organs at the population level. Although the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19 is not uncommon.…”

“…Moreover, a quarter of patients have isolated symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract. There is also a combination of respiratory and gastroenterological symptoms with the same frequency, diarrhea is more common [26,27], and every fifth person has a coronavirus infection with diarrhea, diarrhea lasts from 1 to 13 days with a frequency of 4-6 defecations per day [28]. Diarrhea causes late diagnosis of coronavirus infection.…”

The article presents the data of an analytical review of a new coronavirus infection at the present stage of the development of healthcare in the Kyrgyz Republic, actualizes the issues of quality of specialized medical care to the population, especially in the context of a pandemic and epidemic. The presented review article highlights current data related to issues of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, as well as problems of sarcopenia, a condition characterized by loss of muscle mass, decreased strength, and epidemic characteristics of a new coranovirus infection. The etiology, morbidity, risk factors are considered, new possibilities of specific prevention of this infection are studied. The analysis of statistical results of indicators characterizing the epidemiological picture of COVID-19, including the dynamics of morbidity in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic for the period 2020-2022 was carried out. Comprehensive studies in this aspect: providing consultative and diagnostic assistance to the population, as well as medical and social significance of the identification and early diagnosis of a new COVID-19 coronavirus infection from the beginning of the pandemic to the present. The availability of information on the mechanisms of the emergence of new viruses is considered, the clinical and epidemiological features of outbreaks of coronavirus infections are studied, the identification of factors contributing to the spread of infections has made it possible to identify the most significant measures to prevent the spread of dangerous infections. Carrying out anti-epidemic, including isolation-restrictive and disinfection measures, informing the population about ways to protect against infection, etc. -these measures are widely used in the world in the fight against epidemics. The COVID-19 epidemic has gone down in history as an emergency of international importance. Currently, there are practically no effective treatments so far. Cosmic changes in the lifestyle of people in the XXI century have already negatively affected the state of psychosomatic health of the population. The current COVID-19 pandemic has played the role of a trigger factor in the development of psychosocial stress with a sharp increase in somatic problems. The feeling of fear and uncertainty from the virus threat at the beginning of 2019-2022 was replaced by the threat of social ill-being due to political and economic changes. How to minimize and prevent the negative effects of stress, how not to miss alarm signals, what treatment to prescribe remain relevant and important for practical application information is presented in this article.

Relevance. According to scientific publications, preventive measures undertaken amid the COVID-19 pandemic failed to did reliably protect healthcare workers from the new coronavirus infection. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) that protected against biological factors failed to protect HCWs from becoming infected and in most cases contributed to the functional disorders and impaired health. The objective is to provide evidence-based justification of preventive measures aimed at increasing healthcare workers’ (HCW) safety by using PPE during elimination of biological and social emergencies (based on the case of the COVID-19 pandemic).Methods. The study design included four consecutive stages: occupational morbidity assessment for COVID-19, assessment of HCWs’ working conditions; assessment of HCWs’ safety when using PPE sets in real setting and simulation, and justification of preventive measures to improve safety of HCWs.Results and discussion. The first year of the COVID-19 pandemic saw the incidence of 30.4 % among all HCWs working at the Military Medical Academy, suggesting a high risk of infection transmission. Morbidity was utmost among HCWs specializing in infections, followed by a significant number of HCWs who do not work in contaminated areas on a daily basis (surgeons, urologists, traumatologists). In addition to high incidence rate, the new coronavirus infection pandemic demanded enforcement of specific measures associated with the use of PPE at increased physical stress, including amid elevated ambient temperature. A sociological survey and experimental data allowed to assess the risk of functional and heat-injury related health disorders, as well as injuries in HCWs using PPEs. In order to reinforce occupational safety and minimize occupational risks of health deterioration in HCWs wearing PPEs at work, the research results allowed to develop a two-stage preventive action plan: stage 1 includes identification of dangerous factors, whereas stage 2 focuses on preventive measures to eliminate negative impact of hazards and associated risks.Conclusion. A set of preventive measures developed for the COVID-19 pandemic suggests practical tools to reinforce occupational safety for HCWs who use PPEs to deliver biological and social emergency response and elimination.
