The COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan was a part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Kazakhstan on 13 March 2020 after two Kazakh citizens in Almaty returned from Germany. That same day, two more cases were confirmed, with one female arriving from Italy in Astana and the other from Germany in Almaty as well.[3] Following the outbreak, on 15 March 2020, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared a state of emergency that was set to last until 15 April 2020. However, measures were prolonged in order to curb the transmission of the virus, leading to many notable holidays such as Nowruz and the Victory Day being cancelled.[4][5] On 19 March 2020, a strict quarantine was placed on the cities of Astana and Almaty, where the most cases were occurring.[6] On 30 March 2020, Atyrau and five cities in Karaganda Region went under a lockdown.[7]

While the state of emergency expired in May 2020, the cities of Almaty and Astana and the regions of Atyrau and Mangystau remained under quarantine measures.[8] During that period, the rate of infections grew again. Nationwide restrictions were reintroduced on 20 June 2020, followed by a strict lockdown from 5 July 2020 that was extended to 2 August before measures were eased on 17 August 2020.[9]

As of 8 January 2023, a total of 33,563,811 vaccine doses have been administered.[10]
