Head of the Ukrainian State Food Safety and Consumer Protection Service's Main Department in the city of Kyiv Oleh Ruban says the capital city will become part of the orange quarantine zone after Ukraine again switches to the adaptive quarantine model next week.
"If we talk about today, it is in the yellow zone. If we talk about next week, it will be in the orange zone, as there will be a natural increase in cases associated with the season and the end of [the current strict] quarantine measures, as well as a surge in the incidence in the western regions," he told the RBC Ukraine news agency.
Ruban added the quarantine zones would be reviewed on a weekly basis.
"We will see changes since now there is an increase in cases in the western regions and in a week, it will Kyiv's turn," he said.
