    ALMATY, July 13 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan will extend its second coronavirus lockdown by two weeks, until the end of July, and will once again offer financial aid to those who have lost their source of income, president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said on Monday.

    "There are first signs now that the situation is beginning to improve," he said in a tweet. "The next two weeks are important for the full stabilization of the situation." (Reporting by Olzhas Auyezov; Editing by Toby Chopra)
