Nationwide Lockdown With a Ban on Going Out Is One Scenario, but Zelensky Is Against It
The search for ways to fight the spreading coronavirus continues.
A nationwide lockdown with a ban on going out — one of the options being considered by the country's leadership to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. According to TK Media sources in the Office of the President, Volodymyr Zelensky opposes such a scenario and insists on softer decisions.
Today, by decision of city authorities in Lviv and Odesa, mass restrictions on movement were introduced and public places were closed. Lviv and Odesa joined Chernivtsi and Zhytomyr, where coronavirus infections had previously been recorded.
Starting tomorrow, this list will be joined by other regional centers, including the capital.
In Ukraine, a quarantine has been declared until April 3 due to the spread of the coronavirus, and a temporary ban on mass events is in effect; educational institutions and socio-cultural facilities have been closed. From March 16, Ukraine closed its borders to foreigners.
Officially, 5 cases of Covid-19 infection have been confirmed on the territory of Ukraine: 4 in Chernivtsi Region and 1 fatal case in Zhytomyr Region.
