Health Minister Zoryana Skaletskaya said a 14-day observation will be held along with all citizens who were evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan.

" Together with them I will spend the next 14 days, in one room, in the same conditions. I hope that my presence will reassure both those who are in Novy Sanzhary and the rest in our country, "

Skaletska also called on Ukrainian society to reconsider its attitude towards people who were evacuated from China today..

" We live in one country and must take care of their health and safety.. What happened today, panic and rejection, negativity and aggression really struck me. They hit people evacuated from China even more.. Therefore, I ask you to express their words of support and gratitude for the fact that they agreed to spend two weeks in isolation for the safety of all of us, "
