Russia closes border from 30th to prevent spread of new coronavirus infection March 29 7:59
The Russian government has announced that it will close its borders starting this month to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
Russia has ceased international flights since this month and will not be permitted to cross borders by rail or car, except for some officials, including diplomats.
So far, the Russian government has emphasized that the situation is under control, saying that there are fewer domestically infected people than in Europe and elsewhere.
However, on the 28th, the number of infected people totaled 1,264 and the recent surge has led to a ban on immigration.
