These people are allowed to enter Ukraine only if they agree to undergo observation or self-isolation with the use of the Dii Vdoma GPS tracking app.
As UNIAN reported earlier, citizens were allowed to pass through the Stanytsia Luhanska and Maryinka entry and exit checkpoints on June 10. The entry and exit checkpoints in Donbas and the de-facto border with the occupied Crimea have been closed down due to the coronavirus-related quarantine since mid-March.
