    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.

There is more than 10 million ha of reed area globally, distributed mainly across Eurasia followed by America and Africa. The literature analysis in this paper revealed that Kazakhstan alone harbored ca. 1,600,000–3,000,000 ha of reed area, mostly distributed in the deltas and along the rivers of the country. Herein, we explored 1 the total reed biomass stock of 17 million t year− which is potentially available for harvesting in the context of wise use of wetlands.
