The head of the office of the World Health Organization in Ukraine, Jarno Habicht, said that by the end of the year, 7-9 thousand new patients with coronavirus will be detected daily in Ukraine.

" In the same context, we are also seeing more and more cases in Europe, " Habicht.

According to Jarno Habicht, this happens in all countries of the world..

" We were unable to narrow down transmission to cluster distribution, as is done in many European countries.. We know from our research that only one in four people wash their hands regularly. We also see that every third person does not observe physical distance when attending various events, "

When asked how, according to his forecast, the number of cases of the disease will increase by the end of the year, I. Habicht replied: " But if in December we begin to record more than 9 thousand cases a day, then I will be a little more worried, "

According to WHO, if the tests of vaccines against coronavirus go well, then it may be available in Ukraine in the second half of 2021.

There are now over 200 experimental coronavirus vaccines in the world.

" And of these, there are already 8 vaccines that are in the third phase of clinical trials, and we are now considering another vaccine.. Therefore, in fact, we have 9 vaccines, which by the end of December 2020 should show results that we can study.

If everything works out very well, the vaccine in Ukraine may be available in the second half of 2021 for people belonging to the most vulnerable groups of the population, " Habicht.

The head of the WHO office in Ukraine added that 156 economic structures are currently involved in the WHO program for the production and distribution of coronavirus vaccine, and the vaccination program will cover 2/3 of the world's population. According to electronic media.
