Quarantine in Ukraine to Be Extended Until May 23
The fight against the pandemic continues.
The nationwide quarantine in Ukraine will be extended until May 23. TK Media has learned from sources in the Ministry of Health that this scenario has already been approved. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine plans to announce this decision at the beginning of next week.
In connection with the coronavirus pandemic, quarantine measures have been in effect across Ukraine since March 12. On March 25, along with the introduction of a state of emergency nationwide, the Cabinet extended them until April 24.
Last week, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that it is too early to talk about easing quarantine measures, since "quarantine is what saves us."
The peak of the coronavirus disease, according to State Sanitary Doctor Viktor Liashko, is expected in mid-April.
As of the morning of April 17, 4,662 cases of COVID-19 infection have been registered in Ukraine. There have been 125 deaths, and 246 people have recovered.
