Opening Italy border irresponsible-Kurz (5)

(ANSA) - Bolzano, May 20 - Reopening Austria's border with Italy now would be "irresponsible in light of the epidemiological data from Italy", Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told Austrian daily Tiroler Tageszeitung on Wednesday.
    He said he was satisfied that Austrian infection rates are low despite a series of reopenings.
    Kurz said "the prompt and tough measures bore fruit, like the elevated discipline of the population".
    He said a decision on reopening borders by the end of the summer would depend on infection rates in Italy.
