The coronavirus pandemic, which causes the disease COVID-19, in Ukraine may end within three weeks. This will happen if everyone wears protective masks. This was stated in an interview by the Chief Medical Officer Viktor Lyashko.
According to him, to get out of the pandemic, you need to constantly wear masks.
"There is a CDC study (Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the USA, — ed.). They said that if all people wore masks for three weeks without removing them, the coronavirus disease would be overcome., — noted Lyashko.
He also urged Ukrainians to avoid crowds, get vaccinated against COVID, wash their hands with soap or treat them with an antiseptic.
The medical official also noted that an hour ago it was very difficult for Ukrainians to justify the introduction of quarantine.
"People did not see a sick person, and no one or any of their relatives was sick. Today, such a situation is that after five handshakes you will know some kind of story of a person who died or was seriously ill." - noted the health practitioner.
— The other day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi put into effect the decision of the National Security Council regarding vaccination. Is it necessary to revise the vaccination road map, since the goal is to vaccinate 2021% of the adult population by the end of 70?
«Yes, based on this, 47 million vaccinations against COVID-19 need to be done in Ukraine by the end of the year. That is, as a sanitary doctor, I need to organize about 47 million injections in the course of 2021 to people over 18 years old. But it is possible to organize it only when we open all the stages and there will be mass vaccination, — said Viktor Lyashko.
