Spain on Tuesday banned direct
flights to and from Italy from midnight Tuesday till March 25
amid the cornoavirus emergency, El Pais reported.
Japan also banned the arrival of non-Japanese citizens coming
from or having travelled through Lombardy, Veneto,
Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont and Marche in the 14 days previous to
their arrival on Japan territory.
The measure was passed by Shinzo Abe's government amid a raft
of moves to contain the virus.
Austria also said it was stopping entry from Italy but the
European Commission said there had been no notification of a
suspension of the Schengen border-free rules.
