Municipal workers wearing protective suits, amid concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, desinfect a deserted street in Baku on June 21, 2020. Anxiety mingled with anger in Azerbaijan as the Caspian nation reinstated on June 21, 2020 a tight coronavirus lockdown to contain the surge in infections that followed the easing of restrictions weeks ago. Azerbaijanis will now only be allowed to leave home “once a day for a maximum of two hours after receiving permission via text message” from the authorities, Prime Minister Ali Asadov said in a statement. The new measures will remain in force until August 1 in the capital Baku and several other major cities and provinces. (Photo by Tofik Babayev/AFP Photo)
