With new coronavirus infections averaging 5,000 a day, the Cabinet met in extraordinary session yesterday and decided to extend the “adaptive” quarantine through Dec. 31. University students are to vacate dormitories, go home, and switch to remote learning for one month. Elementary and high schools start their traditional fall break early, returning Oct. 30. In Kyiv, gyms are to close and restaurants to stop serving after 10 pm. With the exception of last night’s Spain-Ukraine football match at Kyiv’s Olimpiyskiy Stadium, sporting events are to take place without spectators.
