On April 7, 2020, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrey Yermak called to systematically inform the population about the coronavirus and responsibility during Easter celebrations, reports the official website of the President.
The Head of the Presidential Office took part in the daily meeting of President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky with the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and departments involved in the combat against the spread of COVID-19.
“Today is a great feast - the Annunciation. And people, traditionally, want to go to church. We need to speak more actively about responsibility not only for our lives and health but also for our loved ones and the people around us. We must work to ensure that the Easter holidays are held in a solemn, peaceful and safe manner,” Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak noted.
Earlier, the National Police of Ukraine said: subject to quarantine, worship is not prohibited, but law enforcement agencies will ensure that there are no large crowds in the temples.
