“Three medical workers came under the watchful eye of law enforcement. Their offices were searched. They also visited a travel agency in Kharkiv, which offered to get fake PCR tests. In total, 61 fake PCR tests, 54 vaccination certificates and certificates were seized. In one case, dealers simply offered their services in the comments on Instagram. Well, and of course, our law enforcement officers responded to this proposal. As it turned out, an ordinary private entrepreneur was looking for clients and acted according to a preliminary conspiracy with the family doctor of the “Center for Primary Health Care” of the Uzhgorod City Council. For UAH 2,700, they offered to forge a certificate with the possibility of entering it into the “Action”, - the First Deputy Minister said.
