The Health Ministry has asked scientists to develop a test system that will be able to tell various types of viruses apart.
Ukraine's Deputy Health Minister, Chief Medical Officer Viktor Liashko has said Ukraine is developing a unique test that will distinguish flu from COVID-19.
"Today, there are many test systems that diagnose coronavirus disease. At the same time, we need to prepare for the season when flu, parainfluenza and other 200 flu-like diseases join COVID-19," he told Ukraine 24 TV channel.
