The Department of Health of the Kyiv City State Administration reports a multiple increase in the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in the Ukrainian capital since the beginning of July.
“If as of July 1, 15 people were in the infectious disease departments of inpatient communal medical institutions, at the moment – 68, 24 of them – children. It is clear that in hospitals get those whose course of illness can not be called mild and who need constant monitoring of medics, serious treatment, oxygen support, etc.,” – reported on the page of the Department in Facebook on Thursday evening.
The post notes that staying in shelters – enclosed spaces with limited ventilation – increases the risk of infection, including COVID-19. “Don’t forget your mask in closed confined spaces…. Wash your hands regularly or use antiseptic. Stay at home and seek medical attention at the first symptoms,” the department advised.
