In Ukraine, in the context of the total quarantine, which is planned to be introduced from January 8 to 24, traffic may also be restricted. The chairman of the Rada finance committee, Daniil Getmantsev, believes that with the introduction of a blockade, changes in the operation of transport and at the local level, and its complete suspension, are simply inevitable. He took the initiative to introduce more complex restrictions, announcing his proposals on the air of Radio Liberty.

“Because any half-way restriction does not give the benefit that we expect. At the same time, it should be noted that the government’s decision to quarantine the” weekend “allowed us today to observe fewer people infected with coronavirus in Ukraine. “Getmantsev emphasized.

True, he drew attention to the fact that strict restrictions in other countries negatively affect small businesses. Although in some states the quarantine is stricter than in Ukraine.

“Nobody in the world knows how to act, nobody knows clear algorithms. Here is the United Kingdom, Israel is introducing a total blockade. Many countries have gone through a total blockade. Our government has decided to introduce compromise measures, introducing a Blockade of 8 January, without stopping the transport work “, – says the chairman of the financial committee.

Taking into account the above words, the parliamentarian concluded that if Ukraine can save the life of a Ukrainian at the cost of 0.5% of GDP, then it should do so without even thinking about it.

It should be noted that it was previously known that from January 8, gyms, shopping centers, non-food stores will not work in Ukraine, and cafes and restaurants will be able to sell only to take away and with delivery. Only essential products will be available: food, medical supplies, drugs, veterinary supplies and gasoline.

Let us remind you that before that we wrote that in Ukraine the opening hours of restaurants and establishments were changed again on New Year’s Eve.

And they also said that Stepanov put points on the “i” in the number of the “running of the bulls” for January.
