8 September , 2021  

There are no grounds for the introduction of a “red” level of epidemiological danger in any region of Ukraine, said Minister of Health of Ukraine Viktor Liashko.
“Now there are no grounds for the introduction of a ‘red’ level of epidemiological danger in any region of Ukraine. There are only indicators to transfer the territory of all Ukraine to the ‘yellow’ level,” he said on the air of the Ukraina 24 TV channel on Tuesday.
He stressed that there are no restrictions on the use of public transport in the “yellow” level of epidemic danger.
Regarding educational institutions, Liashko noted that “offline schools will work if 80% of teachers are vaccinated against COVID-19.”
“In case such a norm is not observed, schools will go online,” he said.
Liashko clarified that for the “yellow” level, those vaccinated with the first dose will be taken into account, for the “red” level, teachers will need to be vaccinated with two doses.
