Valiuk announced this to the Ukrainian News Agency.
On Friday, the 1+1 television channel’s Secret Files program published the photograph of a death certificate that the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 9 issued on March 31, which stated that a 69-year-old man died of coronavirus at the hospital.
According to Valiuk, information about fatal cases is sent to the headquarters for combating coronavirus infection and the Department of Health.
