Updated Quarantine
Ukraine has updated its quarantine requirements. Those from ‘green zone’ countries do not require any tests or quaratine.
Those coming from a country with higher Covid-19 rates than Ukraine (these currently include US, UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Canada) can choose one of three options
1. Observation in specialized isolators;
2. 14 days self-isolation at the place of residence if you agree to use the “Dii Vdoma” mobile ttacking app;
3. Pass the COVID-19 test using the PRL method after entry
New Insurance Requirements
Ukraine currently requires all foreigners visiting to have a Ukranian insurance policy for Covid-19. You can find full details of how to buy such a policy here, as well as step-by-step advice from the Ukraine government
Care for
Infants
The Ukrainian Association of Reproductive Medicine issued these
recommendations:
- newborns should stay in official medical institutions which provide professional neonatal care and sanitary conditions;
- private maternity homes may provide childcare for up to 4 weeks
- should private maternity hospitals close because of infection, some state specific neonatal centers may care for your child for some period;
- As a last resort, an official contract can be made with a childcare nurse to care for child, including paediatrician visits.
Your agency can advise you of the daily cost of care
Your surrogate may offer to care for your child. However agencies strongly recommend against this, given the risk of psychological attachment, which surrogates do not consider, but which can lead to later problems.
