Sweden bans iran flights over coronavirus

According to recent reports, Sweden has indeed banned flights from Iran due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

On February 24, 2020, the Swedish government announced that it would be suspending all flights from Iran until further notice, effective immediately. This decision was made in response to the rapid spread of the virus in Iran, which has been one of the countries most affected by the outbreak.

The ban applies to all flights from Iran, including those operated by Iranian airlines and those that have stopped in Iran as part of a longer journey. The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) will be responsible for enforcing the ban.

This move is part of a broader effort by the Swedish government to protect public health and prevent the spread of the virus. Sweden has already taken several measures to combat the outbreak, including increasing testing and contact tracing, as well as implementing stricter border controls.

It's worth noting that other European countries have also taken similar measures, including banning flights from Iran or imposing stricter travel restrictions. The global response to the pandemic is ongoing, and it's likely that we'll see more countries taking similar steps in the coming days and weeks.
