The State Border Guard Service announced this in a statement, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"We will begin implementing such measures at all border crossings on the Ukrainian-Hungarian border before the end of the day. Units we will be provided with everything necessary for this. We will [implement] similar measures on the Slovakian and Romanian borders tomorrow and at Ukrainian-Polish border crossings in the future," the State Border Guard Service’s head Serhii Deineko said.

According to him, border guards will do everything necessary to ensure that citizens with signs of the Covid-19 coronavirus are detected at the border and prevented from entering Ukraine.
