Since Aug. 3, new rules for COVID-19 quarantine have come into force in Ukraine: Communities, rather than entire regions, are now divided into green, yellow, orange and red levels of severity of COVID-19 spread. The authorities in districts, cities and towns will have to tighten or relax quarantine restrictions in accordance with these categorizations. The levels are based on four indicators that will be reviewed every five days.
