Ukraine's national COVID-19 caseload reached 709,701 on Saturday, after the country reported a record daily increase of 16,294 cases during the past 24 hours, its health ministry reported.
Meanwhile, 184 patients have died of the disease, bringing the nationwide death toll to 12,093, Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said.
The Eastern European nation registered nearly 100,000 coronavirus infections during the past week.
The ministry is working with the World Bank on a project that will allow the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines and equipment for medical institutions, said Deputy Health Minister Svitlana Shatalova on Thursday.
The World Bank would provide around 100 million U.S. dollars, which will be used to "purchase COVID-19 vaccines, as well as diagnostic and laboratory equipment for medical institutions," Shatalova told a briefing.
