LVIV – With new COVID-19 cases once again surging in Ukraine, the government announced the country was now in a “yellow” epidemic level. The move, which imposes limits on public gatherings and large events and includes mandates for wearing masks and social distancing, came after a special sitting of the State Commission on Technogenic and Environmental Safety and Emergencies on September 21.
