Ukrainian Health Minister Viktor Lyashko warned that the Ministry of Health has already submitted a petition to the government to transfer Ukraine from the "green" to "yellow" level of epidemic security and strengthen quarantine.

Quarantine in Ukraine, he said, should be strengthened as early as following Monday, September 13.

Ukraine has already exceeded indicators that could move the country from green to yellow. We submitted a petition to the Cabinet of Ministers.

He added that this week the appeal of the Ministry of Health would be considered by the Commission of Technogenic and Environmental Safety and Emergencies, the minister added.

In turn, the head of the Center for Health Economics of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Yuriy Ganichenko stressed that Ukraine could leave the "green" zone and go into the "yellow" in the first half of September.

Ganichenko noted that the Ministry of Health has sent appropriate submissions to the Ministry of Health so that a national commission on technogenic and environmental safety and emergencies will meet and this commission will be able to record Ukraine's exit from the "green" level.

Most likely, this exit will take place on Monday, this is again according to the comments of the Ministry of Health, and this is quite consistent because we see the development of events.

Ganichenko noted that the scenario, which is being implemented in the third quarter, is close to "yellow".

The green scenario did not materialize.
