Deputy Health Minister and Chief Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine Viktor Liashko will not support the introduction of admission into the subway with the special entrance passes.
“Personally, for me, as a Chief State Sanitary doctor of Ukraine… I will not support the introduction of the special admissions to subway. Experience of other states shows that special passes create crowds of people in front of the turnstiles at the entrance, a crowd of people there can be worse than in the car itself,” he said on Zdorova Polityka (Healthy Politics) program on UA: Ukrainian Radio on May 13.
Liashko said that a decision to open the subway after May 25 would be considered taking into consideration the current epidemiological situation in each of three cities, where there is a subway.
“We have three cities: Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro, and I cannot guarantee that they will open at once. We will take a decision in the government that from definite date it is possible to open the subway, but it does not mean that all three will open at the same time,” he said.
