The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Uzbekistan when its first case was confirmed on 15 March 2020[1]. The case is a Uzbek citizen returning from France.

After the case was announced, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced a state of emergency in Kazakhstan, and promptly closed the border with Uzbekistan[3].
