According to the specialist, an outbreak of coronavirus in Ukraine is possible in the coming weeks. An increase in the number of patients can occur in the same way as in European countries.
“We expect that an outbreak is possible in the near future. A week ago we made a preliminary forecast that within two weeks there may be an outbreak comparable to what we see in Europe. This is an increase in two times in two weeks,” Ganichenko said. …
He stressed that the number of patients in the covid wards has already begun to increase. And the hospitalization rate began to exceed the number of discharged recovered patients.
“If we talk about a lockdown, now there is no risk of a lockdown as such, the adaptive quarantine system continues to work, and it has been extended until October 1,” the specialist said.
He added that the strengthening of quarantine is possible only if the adaptive quarantine in the regions cannot cope with the spread of the disease.
What they say in the Ministry of Health
How noted Head of the Ministry of Health Viktor Lyashko, in Ukraine there is a gradual increase in the incidence of coronavirus. However, a similar situation was observed in 2020.
“Today we see that the number of cases of registration of coronavirus disease is increasing. We are seeing an increase in the number of hospitalized. We do not see outbreaks yet, but a gradual increase … cases that we had in the summer of 2020, “the minister said.
He added that at the end of August in 2020, the number of cases began to increase, but a sharp rise began only in the fall.
“If we recall, by the end of August 2020, we had about 2.5 thousand cases. In September, a greater rise began, and outbreaks were somewhere in September-October,” Lyashko said.
