The Ministry of Health of Ukraine prepares a draft resolution to extend coronavirus quarantine in the country for another month at least.

"Quarantine ends on July 31. We cannot abandon the restrictive measures due to the current epidemic situation. Therefore, we will extend [quarantine]," Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine news agency, when asked whether the Government plans to consider the possibility of extending quarantine.

At the same time, the Ministry proposed making adjustments to the rules of adaptive quarantine.

As reported, the quarantine measures were introduced in Ukraine on March 12 due to coronavirus epidemic and were extended until July 31.
