Kyiv authorities have decided to toughen the measures aimed at the prevention of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the capital in line with the government’s instruction, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
“I would like to inform you that, in line with the government’s instruction, the city has approved a decision to toughen the anti-epidemic measures in the capital. In particular, the working hours of restaurants and entertainment facilities (including cinemas) are restricted until 22:00. Mass cultural, entertainment, sports, promotional events also can be held until 22:00,” the mayor said during an online press conference on Wednesday.
As reported, Kyiv registered 101 new COVID-19 cases, including 7 medical workers, in the past 24 hours.
Acting President of National Nuclear Generating Company Energoatom Petro Kotin announced an unprecedented restriction of nuclear energy generation on May 27.
“Today, the restrictions imposed on us by the government in electricity generation have fallen to historic lows, namely, to 6.63 GW from 9.49 GW available,” he wrote on Facebook on Wednesday through the Energy Reform Internet portal.
Kotin is confident that this “is unlikely to contribute to solving the financial issues of the company and the stability of the country’s power market.”
According to the data on the company’s website, on May 27, some 10 out of 15 power units of Ukrainian nuclear plants were in operation.
