“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the DSSN, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Infrastructure must promptly develop a plan and organize the evacuation of Ukrainian citizens from the territory of China due to the outbreak of infection,” Goncharuk wrote in his Telegram channel.

He noted that he expects to receive on Monday, February 3, an action plan from the Ministry of Health to protect the country from the penetration of coronavirus.

Also, according to Goncharuk, the Ukrainian government is considering "the feasibility of establishing a high alert regime within the framework of a unified state system of civil protection."

Earlier, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky ordered the government to strengthen measures to prevent the entry of coronavirus into the country.
