Ukraine reimposes ban for foreigners over virus surge
After record increase in coronavirus infections
26 August, 17:08
(ANSA-AFP) - KIEV, 26 AGO - Ukraine on Wednesday banned
foreigners from entering the country for one month after health
officials registered a record increase in coronavirus
infections. The ex-Soviet country of 42 million people reported
a record daily increase in new infections on Saturday with 2,328
positive tests. Officials have repeatedly threatened to
reintroduce anti-virus restrictions that were eased in May and
June, saying citizens were ignoring social distancing rules and
other preventative measures. The government announced on
Wednesday it would close its borders to foreigners beginning
Saturday until September 28. (ANSA-AFP).
