In Ukraine, the number of people infected with coronavirus per day has increased. This is demonstrated by the data published on the website of the system for monitoring the spread of the pandemic of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) on Saturday 19 September.

During the last day, 3,240 cases of infection have been laboratory confirmed. 48 patients with COVID-19 died, 1924 were cured. On September 18, 3,228 new infections were reported, 68 died and 1,573 recovered.

The day before, on September 18, it was reported that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, named those responsible for the worsening of the situation with the coronavirus infection in the country. According to him, initially Ukraine had the best rate in Europe for the incidence of COVID-19. However, then some officials “because of the political games and the preparations for the local elections” wanted to ease the quarantine and began to “fight in words” with the central government because they supposedly “tighten the screws.” As a result, the incidence increased, Zelensky said.

Earlier, the Ukrainian government decided to ban all foreign citizens from entering the country from August 28. The ban will last until September 28. Some categories of people have the right to enter the territory of Ukraine during the period of restrictions.
