Corona fears: Italian trains may continue to follow Brenner Pass | Abroad

About 500 passengers have been forced to spend hours at the border. They were cared for by the Austrian Federal Railways during their waiting period. The train was on its way from Venice to Munich, but stood still on the Italian side of the border and was not allowed to enter Tyrol for a while.

Fear of infection

For fear of the risk of infection, the ÖBB also decided on Sunday evening to halt other train traffic with the neighboring country until further notice. Austria, but also Switzerland and Germany, had previously indicated that they were following the disturbing situation in Italy very closely. Covid-19, the disease caused by this virus, has killed three people in Italy so far.
