President of the Ukrainian Medical Club Ivan Soroka noted that the introduction of quarantine measures was the right decision of the authorities, despite the small number URA-Inform writes about this with reference to Ukraine 24.

" Because according to Ukrainian legislation, the epidemic is determined by the chief sanitary doctor, who, by the way, we did not have at that time - it is determined if more than 200 thousand citizens are sick and are in the active process.

We did not cross these indicators, so the decision was political, it was correct, because no one knew what kind of disease it was, what the risks were, whether the healthcare system would be ready to actively deal with these challenges, "

At the same time, Ivan Soroka added that thanks to the efforts of medical staff and the health care system, Ukraine managed to take control of the infection..

Earlier, we reported that over 1000 new cases of COVID-19 infection were recorded in the country over the past 24 hours..
