From Monday, October 18, Odessa, together with the entire region, is included in the “red” quarantine zone due to the peak incidence of the coronavirus COVID-19. The mayor of the city, Gennady Trukhanov, spoke about the readiness to meet a new “wave” of the pandemic.
As he noted in Facebook, thanks to the presidential program “Big construction” a number of Odessa hospitals are provided with modern medical equipment. And the technical capabilities allow us to talk about the prospect of increasing the number of places in the wards, if the epidemiological situation requires it.
Trukhanov added that the main problem for the city is the lack of medical and support personnel. However, he is convinced that the correct approach and assistance from the country’s leadership will help overcome the new stage of the coronavirus.
“Medical workers can be sure: under any circumstances, the city authorities will provide them with all the necessary support,” the official reassured.
Note that the “red” quarantine zone means the termination of the work of restaurants, shopping centers and non-food markets. Also, all screenings in the cinema, theaters and other mass leisure activities are canceled.
As previously reported OBOZREVATEL, local volunteer Ekaterina Nozhevnikova said that in hospitals in Odessa no room for COVID-19 patients… Sick residents of Odessa are hospitalized in medical institutions of the region: Ovidiopol, Belyaevka, Chernomorsk.
And the last day before the introduction of the “red” zone in Odessa people lined up in huge queues for the coronavirus vaccination.
Last Saturday in Kiev the charity event “Courage-Bazar”, where hundreds of residents and guests of the capital crowded, not keeping their distance and without masks. This is despite the fact that Kiev has already broken the record for the incidence of COVID-19.
