“Now we are talking about a figure of 32-35 thousand,” RIA Novosti quotes Nemchinov's answer on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel to a question about the daily incidence of coronavirus for a premature lockdown.

At the same time, the number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 will be of great importance in making this decision, he said.

Earlier, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal announced the strengthening of quarantine in the country from January 8 to 24.
