President Offers N400million For Anyone With Cure For Coronavirus
TRACKING___Scientists in Ukraine have been challenged by President Volodymyr Zelensky to develop a vaccine for the dreaded coronavirus.
He has promised a $1million (about N400m) reward to any scientist in the country that will take up the challenge, his spokeswoman said on Monday.
According to AFP, the ex-Soviet country with a population of around 42 million has confirmed 3,102 cases of COVID-19 and 93 people have died.
The president “believes a million dollars is a good incentive,” his spokeswoman Yuliya Mendel said in a statement sent to AFP, with the aim being able to develop a vaccine that would “save hundreds of thousands of lives.”
Zelensky “really wants Ukrainian scientists to work more actively towards developing medicines that will help the whole world,” Mendel said.
She added that Zelensky’s request to develop a vaccine against COVID-19 was sent to Ukraine’s Academy of Sciences last month.
