Experts spoke about the possibility of resuming strict quarantine and its consequences

In recent weeks, following the weakening of quarantine, many Ukrainians have relaxed and began to neglect personal protective equipment.

And this has led to an increase in the number of diseases for the coronavirus. There were nearly seven hundred COVID-19 cases identified yesterday. Maria Melnyk and Hryhoriy German in the program "Ranok z Ukraine" on the channel "Ukraine" found out what restrictions can be returned to Ukraine if the situation with the number of patients worsens.

If in Ukraine the number of cases of infection with COVID-19 continues to grow, strict quarantine will again be indispensable.

However, in sunlight, the coronavirus does not spread so actively, so it is better to weaken quarantine during the heat, experts say. And they add that there is no point in introducing strict quarantine throughout Ukraine.

You need to start by testing people for antibodies.

“It is necessary to conduct screening in order to understand what is the situation where, for example, a third of the population has been ill, and has antibodies. There is no risk of rapid spread. Where a small number - in populated areas or separate professional groups, or a small number of people have been ill - there, of course, certain measures must be observed, "said the chief sanitary doctor of Ukraine (2014-2016) Svyatoslav Protas in the program" Ranok z Ukraine ".

Another increase in quarantine could hit the economy, experts say. Indeed, during the severe restrictions, the Ukrainian budget lost a lot of money.

“Even according to the results of April, the shortfall in the revenue side of the budget amounted to more than 40 billion. Introduce quarantine once again - the country's economy may not survive this, ”says economist Igor Garbaruk on the air of the Ukraine channel.

Of course, you cannot risk people's health, the economist adds. But in those regions where the epidemiological situation is under control and is declining, jobs must work. It's just that the conditions need to be made "quarantine".

“All quarantine measures should be transferred to workplaces. This is when people with gloves, masks, their workplaces are treated with antiseptics, ”the economist notes.

And no matter what decision the Cabinet of Ministers, doctors, economists make, despite the softening of quarantine, the rules of personal safety should not be neglected. Remember to wear a mask, keep your distance and be sure to wash your hands!
