The OBA noted that after the resumption of in-person learning at a local school last week, seven new cases were recorded among students, indicating an increase in the incidence.
To stop the spread of infection, the regional commission on technogenic-environmental safety and emergency situations adopted a number of restrictions that will come into force on November 19 and will last for at least 60 days.
Among them are the temporary closure of cafes, restaurants and wedding halls, the ban on public events in Khust and Iza, the transfer of schools to distance learning, as well as the restriction of tourist travel and the entry of buses into Iza. This does not apply to transit travel, however, stopping any transport for the purpose of visiting food, trade, consumer and service establishments is also prohibited.
Doctors will continue daily monitoring, free testing of people, disinfection of outbreaks of the disease and will take measures to isolate patients.
Deputy Chairman of the Transcarpathian OVA Oleksandr Muzychenko called on locals and tourists to follow the rules and take a responsible approach to health in order to prevent the further spread of the virus.
Context
Hepatitis A is a viral liver disease that rarely becomes chronic and, after recovery, provides lifelong immunity. It is transmitted through dirty hands, contaminated food or water, and close contact with a sick person. Symptoms include fever, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea and yellowing of the skin and eyes. For prevention, you should maintain hygiene, boil water, wash fruits and vegetables, and, if possible, get vaccinated, explained the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
