Quote:
“First of all, from January 13 there is a projected increase in the incidence of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, including coronavirus infection. And today, given the indicators, Kyiv is on the threshold of the “orange” zone, and in the next two weeks, with small anti-epidemic measures, may enter the “red” quarantine zone, “he said.
Details
According to Ruban, such predictions are due to the widespread spread of Omicron coronavirus, which is why other regions are gradually moving to the “red” zone.
However, there is no exact date for the transfer of Kyiv to the “red” zone, as everything will depend on anti-epidemic measures. If everything is organized correctly and all the rules are followed, then Kyiv can remain in a “stable state”.
Ruban also added that today 30% of Kyiv’s schools have stopped their work and switched to distance learning in order to prevent the spread of infection in the team.
In addition, the official stressed that quarantine restrictions will be implemented only if 100% of people are not vaccinated in a particular business entity.
“If all staff in a business are vaccinated and follow certain anti-epidemic measures, they have the right to work normally, even in the red zone.” There is a separate list of specialties and institutions that have the right to work in the presence of vaccination, “Ruban added.
He noted that the capital is now a leader in vaccination. According to statistics, more than 60% have already been vaccinated. But with all the anti-epidemic measures, the transition to the “red” zone can be prevented, “the official concluded.
Addition
In the capital over the past day found 2437 patients with coronavirus, 16 people died.
In Ukraine, 4.16 million cases of coronavirus disease COVID-19 have been recorded, an increase of 24,000 per day on February 2, which is an anti-record since the beginning of the pandemic. For the second day in a row, 4,000 hospitalized and two hundred fatalities.
