Italy places Czech Republic on coronavirus blacklist

Italy has placed the Czech Republic on its coronavirus blacklist as of Thursday October 8.

Anyone entering Italy from this country will have to produce a negative Covid-19 test no older than three days, including people who are only transiting the country.

Other countries have reacted similarly to the worsening coronavirus epidemic in the Czech Republic.

Greece requires a negative coronavirus test while Switzerland and the Netherlands require people arriving from the Czech Republic to go into quarantine even if they have tested negative.
