The global crisis has affected not only the health care system, but also the entire social sphere. For the second year in a row, the world economy is under stress, and countries around the world are assessing and forecasting the scale of economic losses, trying to determine the size of direct and indirect demographic losses. It’s impossible to coordinate the implementation of anti-epidemic measures and disease prevention without adequate response and support from the population.

The article considers the current trends in the spread of SARS-CoV2 infection in Ukraine and in some European countries. Seasonal fluctuations and cyclical changes in the prevalence of this disease and the number of deaths caused by coronavirus are analyzed. The 7-day seasonal fluctuations are to some extent explained by the peculiarities of the initial registration of such events in Ukraine. After all, some of the test results and medical certificates of death caused by coronavirus disease are submitted to the relevant authorities with some delay. There is a multi-day registration lag after the weekend, when most instances do not work, so the input information is processed with a delay. The statistical estimates of expected daily number of infected with COVID-19 virus and deaths from this cause (data of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine for March-December 2020 and January 2021) are based on an analysis of these trends in the context of effectiveness of preventive measures from “quarantine in free day” up to a hard lockdown.

The global crisis has affected not only the health care system, but also the entire social sphere.
