In addition, Kuzin noted that as of today, there are no exceedances of the epidemic threshold for influenza, ARVI, and COVID-19 in any region of Ukraine.
"We've had stable incidence rates for a month and a half now. They are at the average and expected level. They do not exceed the annual average and do not exceed the figures of the previous year. This is a combination of influenza, acute respiratory viral infections and COVID-19. On average, we register 120 to 140 thousand cases in one week. This is an average, and as of today, there are no epidemic thresholds exceeded in any region of Ukraine," Kuzin said.
He explained that the course of this epidemic season is relatively calm.
"But it's worth mentioning here that starting in the second half of January, more and more cases of influenza will be registered, not COVID-19. Influenza, especially in elderly people who have concomitant diseases, is prone to severe course, so it is very important to protect this age group," Kuzin said.
