Countries are divided into RED and GREEN zones.

The list of countries with a significant spread of COVID-19 is formed by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and reviewed every seven days.

  FOR CITIZENS FROM "RED ZONE" COUNTRIES  

Countries with a significant spread of COVID-19 belong to the RED ZONE.  

If a foreign citizen arrives from a country that belongs to the RED ZONE, he/she will have to be self-isolated for 14 days.  

A person can be free from self-isolation in Ukraine in case he/she presents a negative test result for Covid-19 by PCR, which was passed no later than 48 hours before crossing the Ukrainian border (from an authorised laboratory).
