VIENNA - Austria will introduce border checks with Switzerland and Liechtenstein and ban flight connections with France, Spain and Switzerland to slow the spread of coronavirus, the government said on Friday.
“We are now increasingly beginning to control the borders to Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the same way as we do with Italy,” Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told a news conference, referring to Austria’s two western neighbors. “From Monday, there will be flight bans for France, Spain and Switzerland.”
No restrictions have been imposed along Austria’s northern border with Germany. Travel over landlocked Austria’s frontiers is generally unrestricted in normal times under the European Union’s Schengen scheme. Commercial activity apart from pharmacies, food shops and other stores selling essential goods will be suspended starting on Monday. Bars and restaurants will be open only until 3 p.m. and companies are requested to allow staff to work from home if possible, also from next week.
