Ukraine went abroad

Zelensky is confirmed by Covid, he still wishes to all 36.6

The second wave of Covid in Ukraine jumped over 10,000 confirmed cases of the disease per day. This is a psychological line, which was previously recalled by the Minister of Health Maxim Stepanov.

After the “dozens”, the minister predicted in October, introduce hard quarantine, mobilize all health workers and deploy field hospitals. The next and last feature is 20,000 per day. Then the resources of the national healthcare system are recognized as exhaustive and activate the protocol of the so -called medical sorting, where doctors have to decide who can be saved, and who, alas, is no longer.

The hard quarantine has not yet been reported. However, according to the minister, at a meeting of government on Wednesday they are going to consider the issue of quarantine weekend. That is, on Saturdays and Sundays, food courts and entertainment zones in shopping centers will be closed, the ban will not affect only grocery stores. Theaters, cinemas, museums will also stop working, cafes and restaurants will again move on to the “Food for Remote” mode. Public transport, including the metro in those cities where it is, is not going to stop. The commandant hour is still entering - too. But in supermarkets and pharmacies, the time will be indicated from 10 a.m. to noon as a period of service exclusively by pensioners.

One of the measures - the ban on planned operations and the hospitalization of all other than urgent ( in need of emergency care . - ed. ) Patients and patients with coronavirus - has already begun to act. But such a flurry of protest caused that Stepanov was forced to clarify: they say, on pregnant women who require constant medical control, women in labor and people with cancer, the ban does not spread. Several private clinics, for example, the capital's “Oberig”, were indignant:

The power of the “profiled” summer, the period of relative respite, and now offers millions of patients to wait for help until their condition becomes urgent?

The day before, the Rada recommended that President Zelensky create the National Headquarters to counteract biological threats and lead him in order to quickly respond to pandemic calls: look for opportunities to support the healthcare sector, protect the economy and so on. The draft resolution, which lists the main activities of the headquarters - from ensuring effective free diagnostics and testing for citizens to vaccination at the expense of the state budget at least 40 percent of the population of a safe and high -quality vaccine, when it appears in the country, has entered into force.

But the pandemic was ahead of the intention. On Monday, November 9, Zelensky wrote on Facebook that he received a positive test result - despite all the quarantine events: “I have 37.5, and I wish everyone 36.6. However, I feel good. I promise to isolate and continue to work. ” The head of the office, Andrei Ermak, said the same news: “At the end of the working day, I received too“ positive “news ...” and added that self -isolation for him was not a reason to participate in the video substantiation of advisers to the leaders of the “Norman format” and other events. The social networks reacted in the range from “they will not die! Unfortunately ... ”before the wishes of a quick recovery.

Over the past week, the number of hospitalizations around the country has grown sharply, they also began to conduct more tests. Although the lines in the laboratory are longer. The most intense situation remains in the Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhya, Kyiv and Nikolaev regions.

A separate topic is rumors about the miraculous drug Remesevir, 28 thousand doses of which the Ukrainian government allegedly already acquired for the hospital sector.

So far, there is no vaccine or panacea, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health advises not to neglect at least a vaccination from seasonal flu so as not to add load clinics. First of all, they began to instill at the budget account of doctors, nurses and other health workers who are in contact with covid patients in infectious hospitals, as well as an ambulance team.

Experts, mainly from high -ranking medical officials with the prefix “ex”, say that ways of combating pandemia like adaptive quarantine will not help, you need to act ahead of schedule, according to the German model. And they do not forget to remind you that the level of trust in Frau Merkel and her cabinet is over, and then the Germans do not succeed, and Zelensky’s rating went downward ...

The government does not enter into polemic. However, he responds to statements by human rights activists and representatives of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people ( an organization banned in the Russian Federation . - Ed. ): In the annexed Crimea, according to them, there was a covid catastrophe, which was not reflected in the official reports of the Russian authorities. Alexey Reznikov, Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily occupied territories, during an online meeting with the EU Commissioner, Yanez Lenarchich, said the readiness of the Ukrainian authorities to defeat humanitarian camps near the administrative border with the Crimea. How potential patients will overcome border formalities - the question is open.

In the meantime, according to the Ministry of Health, mobile hospitals are ready to deploy in Kyiv, Odessa and Donetsk region. In Lviv, local authorities intend to convert the Olympic object “Arena Lviv” to the hospital.
