The current corona wave has been hitting hard across Eastern Europe in recent weeks, with deadly and contagious records in Russia and Ukraine, border closure in Bulgaria and a demand for immunization from employees of public institutions in Hungary.

According to the authorities in the various countries, the sharp upward trend is continuing due to the low percentage of vaccinated against the virus.

Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Health announced today that a record number of 1,159 corona patients have died in the country in the past day, and that 40,096 people have been diagnosed as verified.

This, while the non-essential businesses in Moscow went out to close today for a period of 11 days, in the fight against the outbreak.

The number of patients with the virus who died from the outbreak is more than 235,000 - the fourth highest number in the world after the United States, Brazil and India.

Russia will go into full national closure in the first week of November.

President Vladimir Putin has ordered that vaccinators be given two days off for pay, in an attempt to encourage immunization among the general public.
