The introduction of a strict quarantine in Ukraine will reduce contact between people to almost zero and break the chain of transmission of the coronavirus. This is the best way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus from the point of view of epidemiology.
Maksym Stepanov, the head of the Ministry of Health, made such a statement today during an online briefing and added that, on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account the capabilities of our country and take into account the calculations of the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Finance regarding the consequences of the lockdown.
"The main prerequisite for the introduction of strict restrictions will be the epidemic situation and, above all, the burden on our medical system. New Year's holidays, which provide for a large number of contacts between people at fairs, celebrations, Christmas trees, and these contacts occur between people who do not cross paths in ordinary life, and it is clear that there can be outbreaks, are causing concern," says Stepanov. According to him According to him, the Ministry of Health is preparing various options for the introduction of strict restrictions and calls for strict adherence to the restrictions already introduced in the country at the moment.
