Ukraine reports record daily high of 1,967 new coronavirus cases

Ukraine registered 1,967 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, officials said on Wednesday, a new daily record for infections in the country.

The data given by the national council of security and defence surpassed the previous single-day record of 1,847, reported last week.

Total cases are at 96,403, with 2,144 deaths.

Infections have risen sharply in August prompting authorities to reimpose some restrictions.
