Also in 7-10 days, Ukrainians should expect a peak incidence of COVID-19. This forecast gave the head of the Commission on Biosafety and Biological Protection at the National Security and Defense Council, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Sergei Komissarenko on air of a Ukrainian TV channel, writes UNN.


"I think this is not a peak yet. Compared with other peaks and the dynamics of distribution, I think we can agree with the predictions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. I think the peak will be in a week to 10 days. Again, I say it depends on the aggressiveness of the virus. The fact is that, fortunately, the virus comes to Ukraine later than to other countries," said Komissarenko.
