The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine changed the quarantine restrictions in the country, however, this Decree will enter into force only seven days after its publication.
As the press service of the Ministry of Health reported, "the proposed changes are an opportunity to contain the epidemic situation and preserve the country's economic activity."
"We are talking about the fact that today there is an opportunity to vaccinate and be protected in everyone, the available vaccine is enough for this. In addition, we have clearly defined weekly quantities of vaccine supplies until the end of this year. We even allowed you to choose which vaccine to vaccinate, which is not the case in most countries," noted Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko.
In particular, the adopted changes provide that the COVID-certificate will have two options and will contain information about vaccination, a negative test result (valid for 72 hours) or recovery from COVID-19. The so-called "yellow" certificate will contain information about the first vaccination, and the "green" one - about the full course.
Now, if the yellow level of epidemic danger is introduced, the requirements for the work of educational institutions will be simplified. They will work if there are at least 80% of employees with COVID certificates.
There will be no restrictions in the "yellow" zone if all participants (visitors) and at least 80% of organizers of mass events, employees of cinemas, theaters, museums or other cultural institutions, gyms and swimming pools have a COVID certificate. The final decision on whether to provide services only to those who have been vaccinated, or to adhere to all quarantine restrictions, remains with the owner.
In the event of the introduction of a "red" level of epidemic danger, educational institutions will work only if 100% of employees have a "green" COVID certificate.
In addition, the current restrictions of the "red" level will not be applied provided that all participants (visitors), employees and organizers of mass events, including religious ones, employees of cinemas, theaters, museums or other cultural institutions, entertainment institutions, shopping centers, institutions public catering, markets, gyms and swimming pools "green" COVID-certificate.
In addition, if you have a "yellow" or "green" certificate of vaccination or recovery from COVID, you will not need to undergo self-isolation when crossing the border. The innovation also applies to citizens coming from temporarily occupied territories.
