In Kyiv, during the 47th week of 2025, medical services recorded 9,191 cases of influenza and ARVI, including COVID-19. This is reported by the Kyiv City State Administration with reference to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
What the statistics show
The incidence rate was 311.3, which is 43% lower than the average intensity level. Nevertheless, compared to the previous week, the overall incidence rate increased by 3%, mainly due to children.
Among the new cases:
- 5,645 children, accounting for 61% of all cases;
- 3,546 adults;
- 3,267 cases among schoolchildren.
The number of COVID-19 cases decreased

The following people were hospitalized:
- 128 patients with influenza and ARVI, including 93 children;

Four adult patients with coronavirus were in intensive care during the week. There was also one death among adults from COVID-19 complications.
What is known about the new epidemic season in Ukraine
The new epidemic season in Ukraine starts on September 29, 2025 and lasts until May 17, 2026. The Ministry of Health reminds that a number of support programs are available during the season, including free medical services for children.
The increase in the incidence, especially among schoolchildren, in the capital is reminiscent of previous years, when the autumn-winter period traditionally led to an overload of the outpatient system. At the same time, the stabilization of COVID-19 levels indicates a certain separation of seasonal ARVI from coronavirus dynamics.
