Ukraine’s Health Minister: We will not lift the lockdown in January despite the decrease in Corona injuries

Stepanov added – in statements reported by the Ukrainian (Ukrinform) news agency – that the number of people infected with Corona will increase after the New Year holidays, despite the decrease in the currently confirmed cases.

He pointed out that there will be a traditional increase in the number of people infected with influenza and acute viral infections of the respiratory system between the months of January and February next, explaining that those infected with influenza are exposed to the same complications as those infected with Corona, and therefore this increase in the number of people with influenza must be dealt with without placing more burden on Medical system.
