The number of patients with COVID-19 is growing sharply in Ukraine. 14 regions entered the “orange” quarantine zone, while 5 regions are “red”. Some hospitals are already reporting overcrowding and lines of ambulances outside. A high percentage of the vaccinated population could save the medical system from future collapse, but so far in Ukraine, only about 20% of the population received the first dose of the drug.
Hromadske spoke with Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko about a new wave of coronavirus in Ukraine, the pace of vaccination, and compliance with quarantine restrictions.
