Russia says it’s introducing new flight restrictions to and from EU member countries, as well as Norway and Switzerland, over the COVID-19 pandemic raging in Europe. Only the flights to European capitals will continue to operate.

Temporary flight restrictions will go into effect starting March 16, said the government’s center for combating the spread of the infection.

However, regular flights to capitals of EU member nations, as well as Oslo and Geneva, will continue through Terminal F of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport. Charter flights bringing Russians back to the homeland and repatriating the nationals of other countries will continue as well.
