The Public Health Agency of Sweden deems a suspension of direct flights is necessary in order to minimise the risks of spreading the Covid-19 infection. The flight suspension takes immediate effect.
"Under the present circumstances, continuing to receive large groups of passengers from Iran would seriously hamper efforts to limit the spread of Covid-19 and increase the risk of a local spread of infection," says the Public Health Agency of Sweden's Director-General Johan Carlson.
