Quarantine in Ukraine. Refueling closed?

 Due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus, the Moscow authorities took drastic measures. These actions are dictated solely by concern for the inhabitants of the country and the desire to stop the spread of the disease throughout Ukraine.

The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, announced that starting from March 17, 2020, new rules of people's life will come into force. Today, many crowded places are closed: restaurants, hotels, canteens, bars, entertainment and shopping centers. Beauty salons and SPA, saunas, beauty and massage rooms, hairdressing salons are temporarily closed.

Vehicle restrictions

In all cities, the movement of vehicles is as limited as possible. Intercity and interregional flights have been completely canceled. All subways have been closed since March 17. For an indefinite time, the railway and air traffic also stopped.

The changes also affected urban transport. It is allowed to use trolleybuses, buses and trams for a small number of passengers (up to 20 people). Route taxis are allowed to transfer a maximum of 10 people.

What about refueling work?

Given that the restrictions did not apply to travel by personal transport within the country, gas stations are still operating as usual. However, it can be expected that the management of individual stations will make a personal decision to protect their employees. Time will tell. Therefore, it is better not to plan long trips for the quarantine period.

According to the latest data on coronavirus, the danger of getting infected is still very high. How to keep yourself safe when visiting a gas station? You must wear a protective mask as you will be in contact with people. After visiting a gas station, it is advisable to immediately wash your hands, or treat with an antiseptic. Do not touch mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) with dirty hands. This increases the risk of contracting the virus. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of water and strengthen your immunity with vitamin C.
