The new rules will be in effect throughout the country.
The coronavirus epidemic continues in Ukraine. In the spring, Ukrainians survived a lockdown with strict rules, and since the end of autumn there has been speculation about the resumption of a strict quarantine. The Cabinet of Ministers decided to tighten quarantine-related restrictions in Ukraine in January 2021 after the winter holidays.
Tougher restrictions will be introduced after the New Year and Christmas holidays – from 00:00 on January 8 to 00:00 on January 25. In total, the restrictions will last 16 days.
