Shmyhal: the third wave of the spread of coronavirus infection has begun in Ukraine

The third wave of the spread of coronavirus infection has begun in Ukraine, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said at a press conference on the anniversary of the government's work.

At the same time, he spoke about strengthening quarantine.

"We need to realize that the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic has begun in Ukraine. What tools do we have? Adaptive quarantine. You see, the red level and hard lockdown have been introduced in Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi and Zhytomyr regions. Vinnytsia region is on its way, in Transcarpathian, Ternopil and in a number of areas – the orange level. This means that there may be a hard lockdown on the way, "said Shmygal.

"Of course, if most of the regions are in the red zones, most likely it will be necessary to return to the lockdown model that was introduced, which Ukraine has already passed," the head of government added.
