The Ukrainian government has extended the country’s so-called “adaptive quarantine” measures until July 31.
The decision to extend the restrictions came on June 17 right after an increase in new COVID-19 cases that happened after the country reopened more of its economy and relaunched domestic and international air travel. The quarantine is termed “adaptive” because it gives the regions the power to single-handedly impose or ease quarantine restrictions based upon criteria issued by the Health Ministry.
Currently, indoor dining remains banned at restaurants in numerous Ukrainian oblasts.
The city of Kyiv allowed restaurants, swimming pools, cinemas and theaters to reopen on June 24. But Kyiv authorities said they may have to tighten the quarantine if the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow.
