Ukraine could tighten lockdown restrictions as COVID-19 picture worsens

A Ukrainian government commission will meet soon to decide whether to tighten coronavirus lockdown restrictions, Prime Minister Denys Shmygal told a televised government meeting on Wednesday. Ukraine lifted lockdown restrictions as cases dropped over the summer but could impose a nationwide 'yellow' code, which restricts mass events, and limits the occupancy rates of gyms, cinemas and other culture venues.
