in these countries. Figure 2.4 shows the pandemic dynamics in Ukraine and its
neighboring countries. An evident stabilization is visible only in Poland, Hungary,
Moldova, and Slovakia. Some stabilization is visible also in Ukraine. The epidemics in Turkey, Belarus, and RF were still far from stabilization.
Figure 2.5 shows the pandemic dynamics in March and April 2020 for different
regions. It can be seen the stabilization in European, Eastern Mediterranean regions,
Americas and Africa. But the points for South-East Asia and Western Pacific
regions still followed straight lines. Especially threatening was the situation in
South-East Asia, where the exponential growth was rather rapid. Unfortunately, the
