The WHO has declared a coronavirus pandemic.

A pandemic is the spread of a new disease across the world.

There are now more than 20 million people infected with coronavirus worldwide.

In Ukraine, the number of people with coronavirus is rising.

There are currently almost two thousand new cases a day.

On 21 August, 2,328 people tested positive.

So the pandemic is not yet subsiding.

Social distancing helps to combat the coronavirus.
