On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 an international emergency due to the continued spread of the disease around the world. On March 15, 2020, it was announced that the first case of infection with the Covid-19 virus was detected in Uzbekistan. Due to the pandemic, Uzbekistan decided to introduce an enhanced quarantine procedure for the first time on March 24. In addition to reducing the spread of Covid-19, social distancing measures have also had unintended consequences in society. The Covid-19 pandemic has linked alcohol consumption to psychosocial factors such as social isolation, anxiety and depression, as well as insecurity.
