The authorities in districts, cities, and towns will have to tighten or relax quarantine restrictions in accordance with the new categories. The levels are based on four indicators that are reviewed every five days.
Starting from Aug. 24, the new territorial divisions came into effect for the next 14 days. Chernivtsi is now in the red zone, Ternopil, Kharkiv and Lviv are in the orange zone, and Kyiv is the yellow zone. The full list is available here.
