YEREVAN, APRIL 7, ARMENPRESS. Ukraine has registered a new record high of 481 deaths from COVID-19, Health Minister Maxim Stepanov said on April 7, reports TASS.

“Some 15,415 new cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection were registered in Ukraine as of April 7, 2021. In particular, 636 children and 437 health workers were ill”, Stepanov wrote on his Facebook page. According to the minister, over the past day 5,587 people with a suspected coronavirus infection were sent to hospitals in the country, 481 people died from complications and another 11,472 recovered.

Ukraine was Europe’s last country to launch COVID-19 vaccination on February 24. Ukraine has registered a total of three vaccines – India’s Covidshield, Pfizer’s BioNTech and China’s Sinovac Biotech. The first two vaccines have arrived in the country, but vaccination is now carried out only with Covishield. Kiev has refused to receive Russia’s Sputnik V jab.

Since the start of the vaccination campaign, a total of 320,265 people have been vaccinated in Ukraine with one dose, and just two people have been inoculated with two doses.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
