“Widespread societal resistance to COVID-19 is the main route out of the epidemic,” the ministry said in a statement, citing infectious disease authorities.
“To achieve this, as many people as possible need to be infected with the virus as the vaccines are not enough, even though they provide good protection against serious illness,” it added.
Ukraine
The situation in Ukraine has become increasingly worrying, and deserves our prayers and support. There’s so much context, history, and untold details that you need a place like AntiWar.com to explain a lot of it.
