Coronavirus: Foreign ministry recommends ‘thorough consideration’ before visits to northern Italy
Hungary’s foreign ministry recommends that people planning a visit to northern Italy should make a final decision following “thorough consideration” due to the coronavirus epidemic, the state secretary for communications and Hungary’s international image said on Sunday.
One of the reasons for this is the health risks involved and the other is that in case the Italian authorities see a need for expanding the quarantine, nobody will be able to leave the towns, villages and areas in question until it is lifted, Tamás Menczer said.
