The government is awaiting official conclusions from the Health Ministry.
Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Oleh Nemchynov says the Health Ministry on Wednesday, December 2, will submit conclusions regarding the weekend quarantine, based on which the government may decide on further curbs related to COVID-19.
"It is difficult to comment on what has not yet been approved. We are awaiting official conclusions from the Health Ministry on three weeks of the weekend quarantine, and further decisions will be made on their basis," he told Ukraine 24 TV channel.
"According to an analysis by the NSDC [National Security and Defense Council] Secretariat, there is a clear decrease in activity on weekends on a weekly basis, and if one looks at the statistics on the increase in the number of cases, the weekly indicators show there is a significant slowdown and almost stabilization of the number of Ukrainians who fell ill and were diagnosed with the coronavirus infection. I think tomorrow we will see the Health Ministry's proposals and will make decisions based on them," the official said.

"A halt to economic activity is being considered [as an option], but it can be adjusted based on the performance of a particular sector. This refers, for example, to the creative sphere whose activity is suspended over the weekend," he said.
