  • Ukraine's government said on Wednesday that all non-essential businesses would be shuttered for three weekends in November as authorities scrambled to halt a surge in coronavirus cases. The new restrictions that will be in force between November 14 and November 30 were introduced despite protests and pleas from businesses to let them continue to operate. The government said non-essential businesses, including restaurants, shopping malls and gyms, will be shuttered on weekends but grocery stores, pharmacies and banks will be allowed to remain open. Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said that a "full lockdown" would be a better option but the country's economy "will not be able to withstand it." Earlier Wednesday nearly 2,000 people protested near the government headquarters in the capital Kiev against the new restrictions. Some demonstrators held placards that said "Let me work!" and "no work -- no taxes". Dmytro Derkach, co-owner of Planeta Kino movie theatre chain, said that cinemas generated up to 80 percent of their revenue on weekends. "It makes no sense for us to work on weekdays," he told AFP by phone. "Most likely, we'll have to close cinemas completely and fire employees," he added. The European Business Association in Ukraine also said the move "can hurt entrepreneurs." On Saturday, Ukraine, one of Europe's poorest countries, reported a record 10,746 new coronavirus infections. Health officials warned last week that the country with an ageing public health system was "on the brink of disaster," with hospital beds and staff in short supply. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday he tested positive for the novel coronavirus but felt fine and continued to perform his duties. The country has reported nearly 490,000 coronavirus cases and more than 8,900 fatalities. osh-dg/as/erc
