The Cabinet of Ministers last night banned travel on buses and trains to and from four regions listed as ‘red zones’ for coronavirus infections: Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia and Zhytomyr. Car travel is permitted. If the number of red zone regions rises to more than half – or 13 of the 24 – Ukraine may have to reimpose a national lockdown, Health Minister Maksym Stepanov warned in an interview with strana.ua. He also said that March and April will be difficult due to the coronavirus. In Zakarpattia, the hospitalization rate is approaching one out of 1,000 inhabitants.
