Quarantine zoning is revised in Ukraine every two weeks.
Kyiv will remain in the "orange" quarantine zone for the next week, says Oleh Ruban, head of the Kyiv office of the State Food and Consumer Service.
The relevant decision should be made by the Emergencies Commissions later today, the official has told RBC-Ukraine.
At the same time, Kyiv could potentially be assigned into the "red zone" with the toughest quarantine restrictions if COVID-19 hospital load further deteriorates.
"Kyiv is now in the 'orange zone' and will remain in the 'orange zone.' Everything depends on a single criterion. It's beds availability in hospitals," Ruban said.
He also clarified that the situation with kindergartens and schools is under control.
