The head of the Ministry of Health spoke out against strict quarantine

The country must avoid total quarantine, said the head of the Ministry of Health. A complete lockdown, he said, will negatively affect the Ukrainian economy.

Ukraine’s Health Minister Maxim Stepanov opposed the introduction of a total blockade in the country. He said this in a briefing on Friday, October 30.

According to him, the adaptive quarantine strategy is correct.

“In my opinion, based on various factors, including economic ones, a complete lockdown … We should avoid it as much as possible,” he said.

Stepanov noted that restrictions are being introduced for companies, but the institutions are not closed.
