Olga Dolgoshapko calls on the residents of the Republic to keep the rules of personal hygiene and in-home self-isolation and avoid mass gatherings, as the coronavirus infection is of airborne nature, and take care of their relatives aged 65 and older, provide them with necessary foodstuffs, medications and personal hygiene items so they can stay home.
Should the first signs of any acute viral respiratory illness occur, such as fever, cough, rhinitis, and, above all, shortness of breath, you must immediately call a doctor from home.
