Ukraine has expanded its ban on foreigners entering Ukraine this month to include travellers coming to Ukraine in transit. The expansion is believed to be aimed at blocking Hasidic pilgrims determined to come to Ukraine to celebrate the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, which will be Sept. 18-20. According to the latest Ukrainian Health Ministry list of infection rates, Israel has the highest rate in the world – 395 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, as reported in the last two weeks. By this measure, Ukraine has the 8th highest rate in Europe – 88/100,000.
