On November 6, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law “On Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses to Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)” (Bill № 3891).

The document sets fines for staying in public institutions and transport without protective masks or respirators from 10 to 15 tax-free minimums – from 170 to 225 UAH.

In addition, the executive committees of village, settlement, city councils, as well as the National Police and the bodies of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service have the right to consider cases of compliance with these anti-epidemic measures.

The law entered into force on November 7, 2020.
