KIEV, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine has registered a total of 16,023 COVID-19 cases, 425 deaths and 3,373 recoveries as of Tuesday, the country's health ministry said.
As of Tuesday, 1,105 children and 3,114 health workers have been infected. A total of 375 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.
A total of 5,010 coronavirus patients, including 554 health workers, have been hospitalized since the epidemic started, among which 211 were on ventilators, including one child and 19 medical workers.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal believes a turning point in the epidemic fight will come when the number of recovered patients exceeds or equals the number of new patients.
"The daily number of cases has not increased. But we still have not seen a single day when the number of those who recovered exceeded or was equal to the number of new cases," said Shmyhal on the local TV station Tuesday.
On May 4, the Ukrainian government extended quarantine measures until May 22. Enditem
