Borders and aviation
Closing airports and banning foreigners is inappropriate under the conditions of the introduction of a lock. After all, the coronavirus already exists within the country and such restrictions will not significantly affect the epidemiological situation, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba explained on December 4.
However, it is not yet known whether Ukraine will close its state borders, because the government will make that decision collectively.
In turn, Krykliy assured that domestic flights will not be canceled… And when it comes to international air traffic, they will take into account the situation in another country.
Education
As for educational institutions, the situation has changed here. Earlier, the authorities noted that schools and kindergartens will not be closed during the closure.… This, in particular, was reported by a member of the Rada Committee for Education, Science and Innovation, popular deputy of the “Servant of the People” Roman Grischuk.
He emphasized that the Ministry of Education recommends that schools and kindergartens go into quarantine if there are cases of COVID-19 infection in a group or class. When asked how the confinement will affect the education of students, the popular deputy recalled that higher education institutions had switched to a remote mode of operation even earlier.

- if the closure lasts until January 23, all educational institutions in Kiev will be closed;
- If the vacation ends on January 11, the first week of training will begin remotely.
