This paper develops a mathematical model of COVID-19 dynamics in Ukraine, incorporating age-stratified parameters and contact matrices. The model accurately forecasts short-term case and death numbers and distributions. Simulations of various lockdown scenarios suggest that reducing work contacts is more effective than reducing school contacts or shielding the elderly in mitigating the disease burden.
