Ukrainian Health Minister Maksym Stepanov has said Ukrainians are not required to self-isolate for two weeks when returning from the countries of the so-called "green zone."
The minister reiterated the government had updated the criterion for referring countries to the so-called "green zone," increasing the threshold of active patients from 40 to 55 per 100,000 people.
"After increasing this threshold, our citizens who return from these countries are not required to self-isolate for two weeks," Stepanov said at a daily briefing on Sunday, July 19.
