The government realizes that Ukrainians and businesses are unable to live off savings for too long.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said the Cabinet of Ministers has developed several scenarios for getting the economy out of a strict coronavirus quarantine.
"We have developed and are now elaborating several scenarios. For example, a Chinese scenario envisages short-term, but severe restrictions. There is also a softer scenario, but with a really strict adherence to sanitary and hygienic requirements, that is, face masks, social distancing, etc. All these scenarios are being worked out. I'm sure that within a few days we will see and talk about how we will be moving further," he told a Ukrainian TV channel, as reported by an UNIAN correspondent on March 31.
