A look back at 24 March 2021, when Ukraine reported a second consecutive single-day record for deaths from the disease.
How quickly was COVID-19 claiming lives in Ukraine by late March 2021? On 24 March 2021, the country reported 343 deaths from the disease in a single day, a new single-day record for the second consecutive day.
The figure brought the nationwide death toll to 30,773.
The previous day, 23 March 2021, Ukraine had reported 333 deaths in the preceding 24 hours, which then stood as the single-day high. That day's figure brought the total to 30,431.
The two consecutive records meant that the toll rose by 342 between the two reports, with the daily number climbing from 333 to 343 within 24 hours.
