With new coronavirus cases approaching 10,000 a day, the government is drawing up new controls that could be implemented as early as Monday. “The Ukrainian economy should not suffer from a total lockdown,” Prime Minister Shmygal told reporters yesterday. After talking to French and German epidemiologists on how to break the chain of human transmission, the government is considering these steps: elderly shopping hours, weekend lockdowns of cafes and restaurants, and a mass levy of $6-9 fines for not wearing masks in enclosed public places. Large cultural activities as well as gyms and swimming pools may stop.
