On August 8, 2020, Minister of Health Maxim Stepanov called on the government of Ukraine to enhance control over the observance of quarantine in connection with the deterioration of the situation with the incidence of COVID-19, reports “Ukrinform”.
“We see a very significant deterioration in the situation. I will appeal to my colleagues, who are responsible, among other things, for the control of these actions, restrictive measures,” Stepanov said.
