Exceeding the epidemic threshold
In three regions - Ternopil, Zhytomyr, and Chernivtsi - the epidemic threshold was recorded as being above the high level. In particular, this is due to the incidence of SARS, influenza, and COVID-19. This means that anti-epidemic measures may be stepped up in these regions.
Name change for a deported Ukrainian child
