On April 16, a meeting of the commission on technogenic and environmental safety was held under the leadership of the chairman of KHOA.

During the event, Alexey Kucher once again emphasized the importance of observing quarantine measures in the Kharkiv region during the holidays.

“Contact the believers and tell them that the best attitude to quarantine measures is to stay not in the church, but at home,” the chairman of KOGA addressed representatives of religious denominations. - We create these conditions, we connect television - regional, national, which will broadcast all religious rites that take place throughout the country, as well as in our region. There will be an opportunity to be involved in these rituals remotely, and we ask you to stay at home.. This is the most important thing for today. ”.

According to the deputy chairman of KOGA Taras Pastukh, the effectiveness of additional restrictive measures can be seen on the positive experience of the western regions of Ukraine and the city of Kiev.

“Last week, they introduced a series of measures during the holidays, and this gave its definite positive result.. Communicating with commissions and headquarters from these areas, we know that they now have a decreasing trend. They take more samples, but in percentage terms they have fewer cases of the disease, ”said Taras Shepherd.

According to him, it is recommended to take the necessary measures to limit the movement of citizens during the holidays. This also applies to holiday ceremonies, and moving, strengthening duty, patrolling the city.

The head of KOGA Aleksey Kucher said that the decision of the technogenic and environmental safety commission recommends the Kharkiv City Council, district state administrations, executive committees of cities of regional significance, and united territorial communities to work with the leaders of religious communities in the Kharkiv region regarding the maximum restrictions on holding mass, religious events.

“Today, all leaders of religious communities assure us that they will do everything possible so that the smallest possible number of citizens come to churches. This is the most important thing, ”Alexey Kucher also noted..
