For a dental clinic in Ukraine the key date is now 4 December 2026: until then a clinic without a shelter may work during a \u201cyellow\u201d alert only with the consent of its staff. We explain what has changed, how a shelter for a dental clinic differs from a \u201csafe space\u201d and a room with the lowest risk of injury, and what a clinic owner should do now.<\/p>\n<div

They must protect against secondary hazards (debris, glass) and withstand the overpressure of a blast wave. The specific pressure value in kPa is to be set by the Ministry of Defence together with the General Staff.<\/p>\n<p>Two more changes from this resolution:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The \u201cred\u201d alert signal lasts 1 minute, the \u201cyellow\u201d one 30 seconds. The all-clear is announced by voice only.<\/li>\n<li>If the premises are rented, the safe space is defined jointly by the tenant and the landlord. This will probably require an addendum to the lease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"sd-note\" style=\"background:#eef0f1;border-left:4px solid #00AFBE;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Is a safe space enough after 4 December?<\/strong> Sources differ here. On 13 October the Ministry of Economy named a safe space as one of the options, while some expert commentators write that after 4 December a shelter proper is required. Healthcare facilities are also covered by the separate Resolution 1158, which does not mention a safe space. For a clinic it is therefore safer to plan access to a shelter and clarify the specific case with a lawyer or the civil protection authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Resolution 1158: separate rules for clinics<\/h2>\n<p>Since 22 September a separate procedure applies to healthcare facilities, sole proprietors with a medical practice and blood system entities. It will remain in force during martial law and for 30 days after it ends.
