Without the introduction of restrictions, the number of deaths from coronavirus could have risen to 125-145 thousand against 18.5 thousand, says Yermak.
The general quarantine decisions during the pandemic were correct. The head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak wrote about this in his column on the LIGA.net website.
According to him, even the most powerful countries were not prepared for a pandemic.
“Calculations show: a large-scale tragedy averted; without a strict quarantine in the spring and an adaptive summer, the number of COVID-19 deaths in Ukraine by the end of the year could have reached 125-145 thousand,” he writes Yermak.
He pointed out that Ukraine has a lower relative mortality (by number of infections) compared to the UK, France or Italy.
“Despite the global crisis, the decline of the Ukrainian economy in 2020 will be around 5%. This is definitely the best result of what scientists predicted for us and many other countries show,” said the head of the PO and He cited the forecasts of the European Commission as an example: in 2020 the eurozone economy will contract 7.8%.
“Despite the global crisis, Ukraine maintains macroeconomic stability and pays debts on time. No matter how criticized the presidential programs are. Big construction, cheap loans and other measures to support the economy, helped cushion the decline. economic, “he said.
“Next year we have a lot of interesting and important work. Volodymyr Zelenskyy provided a clear strategic vision: accelerate the development of Ukraine. And our task is to turn this into a real improvement in the lives of all Ukrainians,” said the director of the OP about plans for next year.
In particular, they plan to pay close attention to educational and cultural facilities, road construction, and repair of tourist “magnets.”
Remember that Ukraine has been living in quarantine for almost 300 days with varying degrees of restrictions. From January 8 to 24, they will be reinforced, despite the decrease in the incidence of the coronavirus, which official statistics show.
