Ukraine bans foreigners, extends lockdown measures to fight COVID-19

|
Ukraine on Wednesday imposed a temporary ban on most foreigners from entering the country until Sept. 28 and extended lockdown measures until the end of October to contain a recent spike in coronavirus cases.
Speaking at a televised cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Denys Shmygal also said the government would need to take a decision on Thursday on whether to ban major public events in September.
It is unclear if the ban will affect the pilgrimage to Uman.
