"I want to contact the National Police! The situation with the disease in the capital, as well as in the country, is difficult. Most patients are treated on self-isolation. Many patients who have tested positive for the virus are asymptomatic. And some patients behave irresponsibly - visit public institutions. The police, which receives data on patients, are obliged to track the movements of patients who are on self-isolation. And to monitor their compliance with the conditions of self-isolation, "- said Klitschko.
