In the last 24 hours, 75,240 people received their first dose of vaccine, while 26,091 received the second dose, completing their vaccination.
Under the adaptive quarantine strategy, Ukraine color codes its regions green, yellow, orange or red, according to the severity of the outbreak there.
Currently, five Ukrainian oblasts are yellow, 14 are orange, and six are red.
On Oct. 15, Kherson Oblast moved into the COVID-19 red restriction zone. The restrictions will apply to cinemas, theaters, shopping malls, non-food markets, gyms, swimming pools, cultural institutions, and mass events. But if all staff and visitors have green COVID-19 certificates proving they are fully vaccinated, restrictions will not be applied.
The city of Kyiv is in the orange zone. That requires all establishments, such as restaurants, cinemas, gyms and cultural institutions, to operate with lower capacity. The establishments can also choose to allow only vaccinated visitors and keep the full capacity. To see a complete list of restrictions and exemptions, click here.

Kyiv has 36 such centers including the International Exhibition Center near the Livoberezhna metro station and Kyiv Boryspil International Airport. The full list is available here.
