The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine extended the adaptive quarantine until August 31, 2020. The relevant decision was made by the Government at a meeting on July 22.
“Depending on the epidemic situation in the region or individual administrative-territorial units – districts, a green, yellow, orange or red level of epidemic danger of the spread of COVID-19 is set. The level is determined by automated software on the basis of certain algorithms and collected data and approved by the National Commission for Energy and Emergency Situations, “said Minister of Health of Ukraine Maksym Stepanov.
At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Health Maxim Stepanov stressed that even for the “green zone” certain quarantine restrictions continue to apply.
“All criteria are developed on the basis of our experience and the experience of Western partners …” Green zone “does not mean complete lifting of quarantine,” – said Maxim Stepanov.
Therefore, these are the following quarantine restrictions for the “green zone”:
– in public buildings it is mandatory to wear a mask or respirator;
– holding mass events can take place provided that no more than 1 person per 5 square meters is present;
– cinemas must be filled by no more than 50%;
– Passenger transport should only take place for seated passengers.
According to the decree, a region with a significant prevalence of COVID-19 is considered to be one that has at least one of the following features:
– bed occupancy in health care facilities designated for hospitalization of patients with a confirmed case of COVID-19 is more than 50%;
– the average number of PCR and ELISA tests is less than 24 per 100 thousand population in the last seven days;
– the rate of detection of cases of infection with COVID-19 is more than 11%;
– the rate of growth of COVID-19 infections is more than 10%.
Depending on the level of epidemic danger of the spread of COVID-19 in the region or individual administrative-territorial units, appropriate restrictive anti-epidemic measures are applied.
Note that the new resolution applies to the period from August 1 to August 31, 2020.
