The number of COVID patients requiring hospitalization is rapidly increasing in Kyiv

Kyiv is experiencing a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases. This was announced in a message from the Kyiv City State Administration, stating that the number of patients requiring hospitalization is increasing, particularly those in serious condition.

According to medical data, the most incredible spread of the disease is observed among the elderly and people with chronic diseases. Some patients require treatment in intensive care units.

Experts emphasize that the virus has high virulence in crowded places, so residents of the capital are urged to once again use protective masks in public transport, supermarkets, health care facilities, and other areas with a large number of visitors.

The Kyiv City State Administration also recommends using antiseptics, avoiding close contact with people with symptoms of respiratory diseases, and, if possible, working remotely.

Medical specialists emphasize the importance of vaccination, as well as receiving booster doses, to reduce the risk of severe disease. It is essential to consult a doctor at the first symptoms, avoid self-medication, and follow the instructions of doctors.

At the same time, a new coronavirus, HKU5, was recorded in China, which was detected in flying boats in Hong Kong. According to scientists, this virus is highly contagious but does not currently pose a pandemic threat; research is ongoing.
