Russia restricts Iran, S Korea travellers over virus
Moscow yesterday announced new restrictions on travel to Russia from Iran and South Korea, two countries hit hardest by the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
In a statement, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced a temporary suspension of visas for Iranians travelling to Russia for education, employment, tourism and transit.
A separate decree imposed restrictions on travel to Russia from South Korea, with exceptions including members of official delegations.
Moscow on Wednesday advised Russians against travel to Italy, Iran and South Korea, amid a spike in infections.
