VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria has denied entry to a train from Italy on suspicion that two travellers might be infected with the coronavirus, the interior ministry said on Sunday.
“Tonight a train on its way from Venice to Munich was stopped at the Austrian border,” the interior ministry said.
The Italian State Railways had informed Austrian train operator OBB that there were two people with fever symptoms on the train, the ministry’s statement said.
The train was now waiting at the Brenner Pass on Italian territory. “The further procedure is currently being discussed together with the Italian authorities.”
It is unclear when the train will be able to continue on its journey, an OBB spokesman said.
