During his morning briefing on July 4, Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said that in those Ukrainian regions where more people were diagnosed with COVID-19 — like Volyn, Zakarpattia and Rivne Oblasts — authorities had already started to prepare additional hospitals due to the “significant growth of patients with coronavirus disease.”
A day earlier, Stepanov also said that vaccination against diseases in Ukraine had fallen by 20 to 40% during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to last year. Stepanov urged Ukrainians to vaccinate themselves in order to create “collective immunity.”
