Austria suspends train traffic to and from Italy over coronavirus
Austria suspended all train traffic to and from Italy on Sunday after being informed that two passengers were presenting symptoms of the novel coronavirus, Euronews reported.
Austria's Interior Ministry said that it had stopped a train travelling from the Italian city of Venice before it could cross the border after being informed by Italy's railway company that two people on board had a fever.
The train, now stationed at the Brenner Pass, was bound for Munich, Germany. It is unclear when it will be allowed to continue its journey.
It comes after three people in Venice had died from the disease. All were over the age of 80.
Italy has reported a surge of cases from the virus over the weekend with 152 confirmed cases — the largest number outside China.
