Good morning. As you'd expect, much of the news today is dominated by coronavirus developments. Here's a recap of the situation in Ukraine as of last night:

Ukraine Reports First Coronavirus Death, Says Borders To Close

Ukraine has reported its first novel coronavirus death. Authorities said on March 13 that an elderly woman died after being hospitalized a day earlier in a western region of the country, prompting security officials to announce a border closure to foreigners within two days.

Later, the speaker of the country's parliament said authorities would be shutting down all air traffic after March 16.

Officials were also said to be shutting down most of Ukraine's 200-plus border crossings, which could deal a blow to the 2 million or so Ukrainians who work as migrant labor elsewhere in Europe.

Ukraine has announced three confirmed cases of infection by the new coronavirus.

The 71-year-old woman who died of the resulting COVID-19 illness, a resident of the town of Radomyshl in the Zhytomyr region, had reportedly felt unwell after returning from Poland on March 1 but did not initially seek medical care.

Ukrainian authorities said the borders would be closed to foreigners for two weeks but Ukrainian nationals would be allowed back into the country.

"In 48 hours, our country will close the border to foreigners," Oleksandr Danilov, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said on March 13.

State media said Ukrainian citizens who have been to any country with an acute outbreak of the virus will be allowed to enter but must comply with special observation procedures.

Later, Dmytro Razumkov, the speaker of the national parliament, said that "from zero hour on March 17, it will be completely restricted, passenger airline traffic completely."

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba confirmed the air-traffic halt.

The Healthy Ministry said the woman who died was hospitalized on March 12 after her COVID-19 test came back positive.
