This was reported by Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine Maria Karchevych on the air of "We are Ukraine", UNN reports.
According to Kartsevych, since the pandemic, legislation has been introduced that allows for remote sick leave, which reduces the number of contacts and allows you to see a doctor at home to get a five-day sick leave certificate.
