At least seven planes with PCR test systems, rapid tests, protective suits and ventilators, masks and respirators are expected to arrive in Ukraine from China and South Korea this week.

“At least seven planes from China and South Korea are expected to arrive this week. They will deliver to Ukraine PCR test systems and rapid tests, protective suits and ventilators, masks and respirators,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in the address to Ukrainians, the press service of the Head of State informs.

He noted that the goal of the authorities was to deliver 50 million masks to Ukraine in the near future.

“At the same time, we maximize domestic production. This week we will start manufacturing our own PCR test systems. And Ukraine already produces 900,000 masks every day,” the President said.

The quarantine in educational establishments and a number of other measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus was imposed in Ukraine on March 12. Subsequently, the quarantine was extended until April 24.

Since April 6, restrictive measures have been strengthened in Ukraine: one cannot stay in public places without personal protective equipment, including a respirator or face mask, including homemade ones.
