Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate –October 23,2021- Nearly 24,000 new cases were recorded over the previous day as the number of new COVID-19 cases continues to grow in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the peak of infection is expected at a later date, according to the state’s head of public health, Ihor Kozen.
“When we talk about certain forecasts, we must take into account that the peak loads or the highest rate is expected from late October to mid-November, with a gradual decrease in the occurrence by the end of 2021. Therefore, we believe that this scenario is realistic,” he said in an interview with Dom TV. The system is preparing to fight the coronavirus infection as effectively as possible.
Kuzin added that the healthcare system’s ability to survive the COVID-19 incidence peak will depend on two main factors.
“These are the rate of vaccination of the population and how people will follow the anti-epidemic and preventive requirements that are currently set for each level of epidemic danger,” Kuzin said.
Ukraine recorded 23,785 new COVID-19 cases on October 21. At the same time, Ukraine set new daily COVID vaccination record, with 269,666 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered on October 21.
