KIEV, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to introduce a "weekend quarantine" in the country from Nov. 14 to 30, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said in his official Telegram channel on Wednesday.
Shmyhal explained that an exponential increase in the number of COVID-19 cases has recently imposed enormous pressure on the country's medical system. He warned that if the authorities do not act, hospitals will not be able to receive patients, because "there will be no seats even in the corridors."
