Medical system to support 15 thousand COVID patients per day – Zelensky
A month ago, the medical system could only support 9.5 thousand new cases of coronavirus per day, but now its capacity has increased, says the president.
The medical system in Ukraine is capable of supporting about 15 thousand new cases of coronavirus per day. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with four Ukrainian television channels on Thursday, October 22.
“A month ago, we thought that with 9.5 thousand patients a day, our medicine would stop, there would not be enough beds in hospitals and infectious disease doctors … Today Minister Stepanov is right that with 15 thousand we can introduce a blockade” says Zelensky. …
One of the key factors is the availability of physicians who can provide care to patients. They are trying to increase their number by redesigning the departments of medical institutions and attracting interns and students.
“We cannot reuse the entire Ukrainian medical system for COVID-19 patients. Millions of doctors cannot suddenly appear in Ukraine. This is a big problem, and that is why we appeal to people: we understand fatigue, but wear masks, not only for himself, but also for his entourage, “the president stressed.
He added that a strict quarantine will completely stop the Ukrainian economy, and now its introduction is inappropriate.
Recall that in Ukraine for the first time more than seven thousand cases of COVID. For the first time, the daily increase in coronavirus infection passed the seven thousand mark. 113 patients died the day before.
