Operative board presents new measures for coronavirus

An operative board consultation council on Wednesday presented new measures for coronavirus beyond a 28-point action plan introduced in January. The board continues to advise against visits to infected areas, including northern Italy, and asks state-run primary and secondary schools not to organise trips to such areas, spokeswoman Kinga Lang-Bognar said. Staff in hotels and other accommodation facilities along main travel routes are asked to cooperate in screening cases of infected individuals, she said. Disinfectants and thermometers will be made available on international rail services operated by MAV and GYSEV and train conductors will get special training, she added.
