For reference

At a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, amendments were made to the resolution of July 22, 2020, № 641 "On the establishment of quarantine and the introduction of enhanced anti-epidemic measures in the area with a significant spread of acute respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2".

The document stipulates that the "red" level of epidemic danger will be established by a joint decision of the State and regional commissions on thermal power and emergency in case of occupancy of more than 75 percent of beds in health care facilities in the region for 5 consecutive days. COVID-19 (cases per 100 thousand population in 14 days) more than 5 times.

This may be the simultaneous closure of all business areas or the gradual reduction of certain areas that in a particular region lead to outbreaks.

Also, representatives of regional commissions on technogenic and ecological safety and emergencies, on the territory of which anti-epidemic restrictions of the "red" level of epidemic danger are introduced, with the right of advisory vote, are invited to the meeting of the State Commission on Technogenic and Ecological Safety and Emergencies.

 

The Ukrainian government has officially banned travelers passing through Ukraine in transit due to its entry ban on foreign nationals until Sept. 28. 

The Ukrainian government also expanded the category of relatives who are exempt from the entry ban. Now it includes spouses, parents, children under 18, and grandparents of a Ukrainian citizen. 

International students are also allowed to enter. However, as the government clarified, they must study at an institution of higher education.
