Head of Poltava Regional State Administration Oleh Syniehubov has arrived in Novi Sanzhary following the reports about the plans to transport the Ukrainian and foreign citizens evacuated from China to the Novi Sanzhary Medical Center of the National Guard of Ukraine in Poltava Oblast for a two-week quarantine.

The regional governor met with local activists and members of the town council, Poltava Regional State Administration said on Facebook.

“We are dealing with the situation. I am calling [on everyone] to be balanced, calm and not to panic. Our compatriots are coming back from China to Ukraine. Anyone could be in those people’s shoes. They are coming back home. They are somebody’s children, parents and relatives. Chinese and domestic doctors have examined all of them. None of them has symptoms of acute respiratory infection,” Syniehubov said.
