"Now it [the quarantine] will continue until June 22, this is 100%. After that, we will see how the relaxing scheduled for June 10 and June 15 will change the situation. If it does not deteriorate, we will again review the quarantine, which will be adaptive, and its adaptability will probably be at the level of a populated locality rather than at the regional level," Liashko told TV channel Ukraine 24 on June 2.
