Ukraine extends quarantine restrictions until October 1

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said this at a regular government meeting on Wednesday, August 11, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The current epidemic situation is fully controlled, but, unfortunately, experts begin to record the first negative trends in the growth of the number of hospitalizations of critically ill patients. Therefore, given the current situation, the government today is adopting a decree extending the emergency regime and adaptive quarantine until October 1, 2021," Shmyhal said.

He added that over the past week, almost 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered in Ukraine. Vaccines are supplied on a regular basis both at the expense of the state and at the expense of international partners.

As Ukrinform reported, on June 16, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to extend the quarantine until August 31.
