Foreign Office warns against travel to parts of Spain

An FCO spokesperson says: "We are advising against all but essential travel to the regions of Madrid, La Rioja and the municipalities of La Bastida, Vitoria and Miranda de Ebro.

"Airlines are continuing to run flights as normal to and from these areas."

It comes as Spanish media reports all bars, restaurants and non-essential shops in Madrid have been told to shut down over the coronavirus crisis.

Supermarkets and pharmacies can stay open, according to El Mundo and El Independiente newspapers.

From Monday, almost no-one will be allowed to enter or leave the Czech Republic, as it effectively closes its borders in response to the coronavirus outbreak sweeping the world.

According to a report on expats.cz, all foreign nationals without residence will be barred from entering, while all Czech citizens and holders of residence permits will be barred from leaving.

The only exceptions to the ban will be Czech nationals and holders of residence permits returning to the country - although they may face quarantine - and those who live within 50km of the borders with Austria and Germany and work in those countries.

We are talking 2 months away and we don't know how thing will be then. It's more prudent not to do anything right now.

Closing the borders worked in Russia back in January and they now have 0 cases and 0 deaths.

The 20 cases they did have, have all survived.

But my point was, if you were allowed into Russia, their borders obviously weren’t closed.

Sounds like there is person-to-person transmission in Ethiopia where the current temperature is 28C. Not particularly encouraging news for the summer here.
