As we reported earlier, Health Minister Maksym Stepanov stated that the introduction of a total lockdown could reduce the overall number of coronavirus cases in Ukraine to zero.
"From the point of view of epidemiology, the introduction of strict quarantine and the rupture of the entire chain of the disease's transmission, i.e. reducing to almost zero communication between people, is the best way, from the point of view of epidemiology, to reduce the incidence of Covid-19, well, it can be reduced to zero," the minister said.
