Ukrainian Deputy Health Minister Viktor Liashko has said Ukraine will cancel mass events and temporarily shut down schools amid coronavirus fears.
“Unfortunately, we will introduce restrictive anti-epidemic measures in the near future. We will ban the holding of mass events, conferences, sports events, and suspend school classes as part of these restrictive anti-epidemic measures,” he said during a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelensky and foreigners evacuated from China, who had undergone observation at a medical center in the town of Novi Sanzhary, Poltava region, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
