In connection with the next anti-record in the number of patients with coronavirus per day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy notes the need to increase public awareness about countering the spread of COVID-19 in Ukraine and urges citizens to take personal safety measures.

At a traditional conference call, the head of state noted that on August 13 in Ukraine, the coronavirus was confirmed in 1,732 citizens. These numbers and the number of hospitalized people indicate that the country is on the verge of a second wave, so it is worth paying more attention to security measures and quarantine rules..

" It is necessary to convey to the population the importance of taking personal protection measures, observing quarantine rules: minimizing visits to crowded places, visiting public events, "

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Khomchak reported to the President that the silence on the demarcation line in the JFO zone is being observed.

Separately, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine drew attention to the fact that yesterday the militants at the Stanytsia Luganskaya checkpoint, hiding behind quarantine measures, again did not miss the OSCE SMM observer mission, but at the same time, Novotroitsky gave permission to transport humanitarian aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Head of the National Police of Ukraine Igor Klimenko reported on the situation with the prevention of road congestion. He stated that now in six regions of Ukraine the temperature exceeds 28 C. In such heat, under the weight of trucks, the asphalt surface collapses, therefore, to save roads, the police restrict the movement of multi-ton and large-sized vehicles in these regions in the daytime.

The President called the situation with the overloading of trucks unacceptable and urged to urgently organize work on weighing such vehicles.

According to the Minister of Infrastructure Vladislav Krikliya, a tender has already been held, and by the end of the year, 54 automatic complexes of gauge and weight control will operate on all roads of Ukraine.. The head of the Ministry of Infrastructure also noted that the staff of the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety continues to be renewed..
