Ukraine will cancel all passenger flights after March 16 in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19, according to Parliament Speaker Dmytro Razumkov.
The ban on flights will come into force at midnight on March 17, Razumkov said on the NewsOne TV channel late on March 13. He didn’t specify when the restrictions would end.
Land border crossings will stay open, but will only allow Ukrainian nationals to return to the country.
Razumkov’s announcement came as the latest in a series of measures taken by the Ukrainian government in response to the pandemic that, so far, has affected Ukraine less than its European counterparts. As of March 13, Ukraine had three confirmed cases of coronavirus, one of them fatal.
Earlier on March 13, Ukraine announced it will ban foreign nationals from entering the country for two weeks, starting on March 15.

What a shame! I wanted to come to Ukraine for the Easter holidays!

You still can, Easter is April 12th this year. The ban should be lifted on April 1st.
If not extended due to global mayhem.
“He didn’t specify when the restrictions would end”
“Ukraine announced it will ban foreign nationals from entering the country for two weeks, starting on March 15”
I hope you’re right. The conflicting statements leave me wondering. Either way, it will be a close call because my flight is on the 3rd of April.
From all reports I have read, all foreigners are banned for two weeks, so are flights. Unless they extend the ban, everything should be fine.
I’m afraid the ban will stay for a much longer period, we’ve only seen the beginning of this epidemic.
Chinese coronavirus protection. 😂

Looks very comfortable 😀
The civilized world! 😁
I really can’t understand why they have to buy so much, if they bought as usual it will be enough for everyone. We see the same in Norway, now they are travelling to Sweden to buy more 🙂
They probably all watch CNN and have bought into the media hype. Of the people who HAD SYMPTOMS, 99% tested NEGATIVE for Corona virus. Still, 1% is a lot and those that are your age should stay home for a couple of weeks.
Ronna McDaniel has been hit with the Corona HOAX after a visit to Mar-A-Lago, now not only bed bugs 🙂
Looking at those women fighting, a diet would do them more good than worrying about a virus. 😁
They can soon participate in the 600 lbs club 🙂
Interesting! The paper masks only help you from spreading the virus, it will not prevent you from getting it…but people still believe it. Someone should tell them that paper gets wet ;))
Maybe they don’t have soap in China, Italy and Spain.
