Among the hospitalized patients, there are serious patients,” the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration quoted the first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration Mykola Povoroznyk as saying.

He emphasized that it is advisable for Kyiv residents to return to the mask regime in crowded places to reduce the risk of infection.
