• Quarantine-related curbs differ in each zone. The mildest ones are in the green zone, the regions included in the red zone have to introduce the toughest restrictive measures.
• Updated quarantine zoning became effective in Ukraine on August 17. Kyiv was included in the yellow zone.
• In Ukrainian schools within the "orange quarantine zone", teachers will be wearing protective face shields in class.
