Another outbreak of coronavirus begins in Ukraine

In an interview, the head of the Nikolaev Department of Health, Irina Shamrai, announced this.

It begins in the western regions, where mass migration to and from Europe exists. There is a significant increase in the incidence rate,” said Irina Shamrai.

In August, Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said that the coronavirus incidence in Ukraine has increased in the last month.

Only in the first week of August (August 1-7 - ed.), 3,893 new disease cases were detected, 40% more than a week earlier, the minister said.

The Ministry of Health records more cases of the disease where it is conditionally safer since patients are more likely to visit doctors if they have acute respiratory viral disease symptoms.

Viktor Lyashko also called for vaccination.

If possible, do not delay getting the coronavirus vaccine, both the base course and the booster dose. It is essential to protect yourself before the start of the epidemic season when the number of viral diseases traditionally grows,” Lyashko added.
