Kiev's main airport was mostly empty after the government banned regular passenger flights to and from the country and announced a shutdown of domestic air travel from Tuesday. One of the last special flights was seen landing at the airport while Ukraine continues to bring its citizens home. Ukrainian shops, restaurants and public transport shut down on Tuesday after the country tightened restrictions to contain the spread of the coronavirus. The country has 14 confirmed cases of the coronavirus so far, including one death. The government has encouraged people to stay at home except to buy food and medicine.
