    COVID-19 in Central Asia: Infographic Series KAZAKHSTAN Kazakhstan first announced a state of emergency and imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 16 to May 11. As cases started to climb after the lockdown lifted, and new data collection methods pointed to more 78,486 49,488 585 infections in the country than previously counted, the Total Confirmed Recovered Deaths government announced a second nationwide lockdown COVID-19 Cases from July 5 to August 2. Kazakhstan has the highest Source: JHU number of COVID-19 infections relative to population size in Central Asia. Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) Atyrau Tengiz Oil Field Almaty IMPACT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR COVID-19 is the biggest shock to Kazakhstan's economy in two decades, and has had a negative impact on economic growth. The economy is heavily reliant on foreign investment through ongoing oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The Tengiz Oil Field in the Atyrau region has reported upwards of 2,000 cases of COVID-19 among 36 shift camps and 57 companies operating in the field. Chevron-led Tengizchevroil owns the site, and has temporarily paused non-essential work activities in an attempt to slow the spread of cases. Entry restrictions may affect the movement of migrant workers staffing the project site. The capital, Nur-Sultan, and Kazakhstan's financial hub, Almaty, have led the count in confirmed cases of COVID-19. Hospitals in both major cities are reportedly nearing full capacity, and may be unavailable to new patients. In Nur-Sultan, the Presidential Hospital and City Hospital #2 recently resumed some level of surgical and other services, opening up access to acute trauma care.

  • Development of Seamless Rail-Based Intermodal Transport Services in Northeast and Central Asia
    Development of seamless rail-based intermodal transport services in Northeast and Central Asia Report on Transport Facilitation procedures and documentation in Kazakhstan 1. Introduction A mission to Kazakhstan was conducted by a staff member and a consultant of the UNESCAP Transport Division for the express purpose of collecting information on border crossing procedures and documentation in Kazakhstan. The mission was conducted from 25-27 April 2016, during which period visits were made to: Three freight forwarding companies in Almaty; The Altynkol/Khorgos border region, including the Altynkol Station, the Khorgos Economic Zone, and the Khorgos Gateway Dry Port; The Kazakhstan Freight Forwarders Association This report reviews the status of trade and transport across Kazakhstan’s borders and outlines the main points of discussion at all meetings. 1. Status of cross-border trade and transport (i) Rail corridor developments Kazakhstan forms a key part of the shortest of the rail corridors linking Northeast Asia with Europe. As such, the majority of the container block trains now moving between China and Western Europe transit via this corridor (rather than via the Trans-Siberia or Trans-Mongolia Railways).1 The rail corridor through Kazakhstan also links major trade generating sources in Kazakhstan, such as Almaty and Astana, with seaports in China, most notably at Qingdao and Lianyungang. Rail traffic to/from China now exits/enters Kazakhstan through 2 major border control points. The oldest of these (operating since 1992) is at Dostyk, opposite Alashankou in China (see Figure 1). In 2014, more than 15 million tonnes of international cargo was estimated to have passed through this border station.

The newly established sales subsidiary plans to start operation on February 1, 2015. 1. Reasons for Establishing the New Subsidiary Before the establishment of Makita Kazakhstan LLP, Makita’s sales operations in the Kazakhstani market had been conducted by Makita Gulf FZE (our sales subsidiary established in April 1997 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; capitalized at US$6.1 million) through a local branch. By establishing a local sales subsidiary in Kazakhstan, which is enjoying rapid economic growth, Makita aims to further expand sales while exploring new business opportunities in other central Asian nations by expediting the supply of products and parts and enhancing its after-sales services. Kazakhstan, along with Russia, Belarus and Armenia, formed the Eurasian Economic Union, which was officially inaugurated in January 2015. Makita anticipates further growth of the Kazakhstani market, which will become a part of a larger unified market. As a result of the founding of the sales subsidiary in Kazakhstan, Makita currently operates 50 overseas subsidiaries (including 27 in Europe). 2. Outline of the New Subsidiary 1. Company name Makita Kazakhstan LLP 2. Location 39, Kommunalnaya, Zhetysu district, Almaty 3. Representative Yoshinori Matsumoto 4.

To date, in the Republic of Kazakhstan, an assessment of the significance of early cardiomarkers, reflecting the state of maladjustment of the heart to physical exertion among highly qualified athletes involved in martial arts, has not been performed. Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the level and diagnostic significance of cardiac biomarker IL1RL1 (sST2 - serum-soluble) and the role of psychological stress on the risk of cardiovascular disease in qualified sport veterans engaged in speed–strength sports. Methods: A prospective study on wrestlers was performed at the Centre for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan). All participants (n = 30) were males aged 30 to 44 years s, masters of sports of international class, and honoured masters of sports).
