“At the same time, we attracted additional non-budgetary funds, these are the funds of businessmen, for which we feed people who are on observation,” said Alexey Kucher.

According to him, in recent days, from 100 to 200 people cross the border of the region daily. However, not all of them agree to the observation.

“It is mandatory for all people who cross or cross the border. People do not agree to the observation. The police have no right to use force against them, so if they leave such places or simply refuse, then the police are forced to draw up a protocol. Those who refuse to observe are liable. At a minimum, this is an administrative responsibility - from 17 to 34 thousand. UAH ”, - said the chairman of KOGA.

Only those who have had contact with people with coronavirus disease and are likely infected are not sent for observation. Such people are placed on self-isolation, since they pose a threat to those who are in the places of observation.
