KYIV, Dec 13 – The downward trend in the number of registered cases of COVID-19 in Ukraine has been recorded for five weeks in a row: from 152,260 cases in the first week of November, their number fell to 61,021 last week, Health Minister Viktor Liashko has reported.

"These indicators allow us to remove two more regions from the 'red' level of epidemic danger: Vinnytsia and Khmelnytsky," he said at a briefing on Monday.

Liashko clarified that the Ministry of Health had already submitted a corresponding motion to the Cabinet of Ministers on the convocation of the State Commission on Environmental Safety, Manmade Disaster and Emergency Response to consider this issue.
