Under the adaptive quarantine strategy, Ukraine color codes its regions green, yellow, orange or red, according to the severity of the outbreak there.
Currently, two of Ukraine’s 24 oblasts are yellow, 15 are red and the rest are orange.
Dnipro, Donetsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Rivne, Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhia, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Luhansk, Khmelnytsky, Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts are in the red COVID-19 restriction zone.
The restrictions will apply to restaurants and cafes, 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 entered the red quarantine zone on Nov. 1. Public transport will continue to operate but passengers will need to have either a negative PCR test or vaccination certificate. These documents will not be checked at the entrance but selectively by groups of law enforcement officers.
All adults, including foreigners with a residence permit, can get vaccinated for free. They can get a shot at their local clinics or one of more than 400 mass vaccination centers throughout the country.
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.
The Cabinet of Ministers met on Oct 11 and amended domestic travel restrictions under the adaptive yellow, orange, and red zone quarantine measures.
From Oct. 21, all passengers traveling by air, bus or train between the yellow, orange, and red regions must either provide a two-dose vaccine certificate, at least one dose for travel between yellow zones, or a negative PCR or rapid test result taken within 72 hours. Foreign vaccine certificates and negative PCR test results through the Diia Portal app will also be accepted.
