The railway companies in Switzerland and Italy are temporarily suspending cross-border traffic.
As of December 10, 2020, there will be no more trains of the Swiss Railways SBB and Trenitalia across the border for an indefinite period, the SBB announced on Tuesday. "The decision is based on a decree of the Italian government," it said.
Italy requires controls that Switzerland cannot guarantee, said a SBB spokeswoman on request, including temperature measurement and the submission of a negative corona test.
Among other things, the Frankfurt-Milan connection is affected, according to SBB. On December 11th and 12th, the trains will still run limited between Frankfurt and Chiasso in the canton of Ticino and Brig in the canton of Valais.
From the timetable change on December 13th, the trains only ran between Basel and Chiasso or Brig and did not continue to Germany or Italy.
