On January 15, 2022, in the afternoon, “Metropolitan” Epiphany Dumenko received a confirmation of a positive test for coronavirus. At the same time, the press service of the OCU notes that last year he completed a full course of vaccination.

Next week, according to the OCU, the “metropolitan” will be in self-isolation and outpatient treatment, will not perform services and receive visitors.”

As previously reported, Epiphany’s subordinate “Metropolitan” Ioann Yaremenko stated that vaccination is a profanation of coronavirus prevention. Also on social media, they wondered if Dumenko would come personally to support Petro Poroshenko upon his return to Ukraine.
