Strict quality standards have been reinforced with additional measures, but safety comes first.

The press service of the fast-food chain McDonald's said on Facebook that it is closing all its restaurants in Ukraine for the duration of the quarantine.

The company said its already strict quality and safety standards have been reinforced with additional measures so that Ukrainians can keep ordering food via delivery or the drive-thru.

"Safety and health of our employees and customers always come first for us. Let's use this time to take care of and support one another. We are confident we will get through everything, and soon we will greet you with a warm smile, hot coffee and your favorite burgers," the press service added.

Across Ukraine until April 3 a quarantine has been declared due to the spread of the coronavirus, and a temporary ban on mass events and gatherings of more than 10 people is in effect.

Since March 16, Ukraine has closed its borders to foreigners. From March 17, Ukraine has closed passenger air service. From March 18, intercity and interregional passenger transport will be suspended.
