KYIV – For the last week, Ukrainians found themselves in an uncertain state of quarantine. On the one hand, the government plan of lifting restrictions continued in most regions, and life was returning to normal. On the other, the number of new COVID-19 cases spiked and set new records.
In the last seven days, 4,853 people contracted the coronavirus in Ukraine, which is the highest rate yet since the pandemic hit Ukraine. Consequently, on June 17, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine extended the quarantine restrictions until July 31.
