For two weeks now, the staff of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, together with the Ministry of Health, have been taking all necessary measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus on the territory of Ukraine.

It should be noted that border control personnel use contactless pyrometers, medical masks and disposable gloves during temperature screening and registration of citizens. In addition, there are respirators, protective suits, goggles and hand antiseptics. They are in every border unit.

At present, the State Border Service of Ukraine has more than 460 pyrometers and the necessary means of protection were promptly received from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, volunteers, public organizations and purchased for budgetary funds.

It should be added that, if necessary, the border department is provided with an estimated up to 7 days of daily use of medical masks and rubber gloves. And replenishment is ongoing.

We emphasize that any criticism or dissemination of information that border guards lack personal protection means that military personnel are forced to buy them at their own expense are provocative and untrue.

Also, following the instructions of the Prime Minister of Ukraine following the results of the meeting of the Covid-19 anti-crisis staff against the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus in Ukraine, the State Border Service promptly provided the department with a three-month PPE, defining their specifications and specifying them.
