It is also worth noting that severe restrictions on the carriage of passengers in the red zone were canceled.. The rules for the work of transport in quarantine are also in the jurisdiction of the state and regional commissions.

" If the region has more than 75% occupancy for five days in a row, then it goes into the orange zone. This will cover the entire area. The criterion for the number of new patients was also changed.

We used to have a clear indicator of when the transition occurs. Now this will happen at the city or district level. If the incidence of coronavirus is five times higher than the average for Ukraine within 14 days, then the settlement goes into the red zone, "

Earlier it became known that as of Thursday morning, September 17, in Ukraine, the new generation coronavirus originating from the Chinese Wuhan Covid-19 set a new anti-record for the number of infected. The virus was found in 3 thousand 584 people per day.
