A total of 10,053 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were administered across the country during the past 24 hours. In addition, Ukrainian laboratories carried out 12,245 antibody tests (ELISA).
During the past week, Ukraine regularly registered record numbers of new cases, around 1,000 a day. Those numbers fell precipitously during the three-day weekend for Constitution Day, as fewer PCR tests were conducted — a sign that this did not necessarily represent a true decrease in cases. The new figures on July 1 combined with higher levels of testing likely represent a more reliable decrease in new cases.
