Austria will tighten measures against the Western Balkans related to the coronavirus pandemic and will ban flights from the region from Thursday, Deutsche Welle reported on Tuesday.

“The planes from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, and also from Moldova and Egypt are banned from landing in Austria,” the Vienna Presse daily wrote.

The daily added that the lines from those countries would be cancelled by the end of July at earliest.

The only flights from those countries that will be allowed to land in Austria will be those carrying medical staff and day labourers.
