Tyrol in Austria shares border with northern Italy. And now that the state is considered a risk area, it is important to be alert to symptoms if you have been there.

- We have a constant dialogue with our Nordic neighbors. Because there are close links to Italy and areas affected by the corona virus, we did as our neighboring countries and classified the Tyrol as a risk zone, says state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.

Germany risk zone in Finland

In Finland, parts of Germany have also been classified as a risk zone, writes Finnish Hufvudstadsbladet.

- In Sweden we have not seen many cases from there, but in Finland they have many travelers there. The assessments have to do with the travel flows, says Anders Tegnell and continues:

- Then it has to do how many more areas we manage so that health care does not go down. If you test people it must also be done in a good way, you must be able to test and follow up.

Austria stops big events

Austria has confirmed over 130 infected cases of the corona virus, and at present there is no information on the deaths.

The country has taken several measures. Indoor events with more than 100 participants have been halted so far, as are outdoor events with over 500 people, Reuters writes.

In addition, Austrian Air has discontinued flights to northern Italy until March 28. In addition, the authorities have banned Italian citizens from entering Austria, the BBC writes. Exceptions are made in some cases, for example for those who have obtained medical certificates.
