"Ukraine is closing its borders to foreigners this very night," the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers has decided.
The Ukrainian government is closing the country's borders to foreigners starting from midnight on August 00 through September 00 of this year.
This decision was made during an extraordinary meeting on August 27.08.2020, XNUMX.
As a reminder, the Ukrainian government previously planned to close state borders to foreigners, starting at 00:00 on August 29.08.2020, XNUMX.
As official sources have reported, although there was no previous plan to tighten restrictive measures or reintroduce a strict quarantine, Kyiv has nonetheless decided to hold a number of events due to new COVID-19 outbreaks abroad.
The main reason for these innovations is to protect Ukrainians from the second wave of COVID-19 and the spread of coronavirus infection in Ukraine.
Despite the introduction of new restrictive measures, certain categories of foreign citizens still retain the right to enter Ukraine.
In addition, the head of the State Border Service will be able to make additional decisions regarding the controlled passage of foreigners across the state border.
