EU chief warns against unilateral virus travel bans
BRUSSELS, March 13, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – EU chief Ursula von der Leyen warned
Friday against imposing unilateral travel restrictions to fight the
coronavirus epidemic, as some member states have done.
“General travel bans are not seen as being the most effective by the World
Health Organization,” she said, calling instead for health screening at
borders.
