In Ukraine, the incidence rate of coronavirus has been increasing over the past month. This was announced on August 10 by the Minister of Health, Viktor Lyashko.
Over the past week, 3 893 new cases of the disease were detected, which is 40% more than in the previous week. More cases are recorded in places where it is relatively safer, because there patients often turn to doctors.
During the same period, 1 763 patients were hospitalized, 1 682 people recovered. Among the beds allocated for the treatment of patients with the coronavirus, 4.5% are currently occupied. In addition, 16 people died from complications of the coronavirus last week, 14 a week earlier.
The Ministry of Health also observes a low level of diagnosis — that is, a person consults a doctor only when he already needs hospitalization. The minister urged Ukrainians to get vaccinated before the start of the epidemic season: to receive both a basic course of vaccinations and a booster dose. Here is the list of vaccination points.
