"Now there are 408 people at the hospital, and 37 of them have been diagnosed with the coronavirus," the response center cited chief doctor Denis Protsenko as saying.
On Tuesday, one patient, who had been in intensive care, moved to an isolation ward to continue treatment, he said. "Now we consider that he is in stable condition and we continue all the necessary treatment. All patients are receiving medical assistance in full and are being provided with individual treatment."
