This was announced by Minister of Health Viktor Liashko during a briefing on July 6.

"Last week, 1,018 cases of coronavirus disease were recorded, compared to 943 cases the week before. We see a growth of 12%, and this is the same trend as in European countries. We are potentially preparing for a possible new wave of the coronavirus. But we are preparing the health care system for this," said Viktor Liashko.
