Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – October 15, 2021 – Transportation
On the air of TSN Lyashko was asked whether it will be possible to get on long-distance transport if there is a need to visit the funeral of a relative or go for treatment. In response, he stated that if the trip was absolutely necessary and the passenger had not yet been vaccinated, he should take a negative test.
“Another option is to do a negative PCR test, which will work for 72 hours,” Lyashko said.
He added that the complexity of the “crazy” situation in Ukraine is not in the level of infection, but in the increase in the number of hospitalized, most of whom are unvaccinated.
“Infection figures alone do not indicate anything, today we are talking about hospitalization. Hospitalizations that are growing – this is an alarm signal. Today, at least 95% of hospitalized – unvaccinated. If we neglect vaccination, hospitalizations will increase, and this is the reason to declare a “red” level of epidemic danger, “says Lyashko.
We will remind, for the last days in Ukraine from a coronavirus more than 200 people died .
New rules of passenger traffic from October 21
From 21 October, interregional carriage of passengers in regions with a “yellow”, “orange” or “red” level of epidemiological danger will be allowed provided that all drivers, aircrew, and passengers have one of the following documents:
a document confirming the receipt of a full course of vaccination or a document confirming the receipt of a single dose of two-dose vaccine for regions of the “yellow” level of epidemic danger;
