bkk6060 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Interesting. Euro is much more impacted then here (according to the government) so not sure why everyone left. I guess people are returning home for better/free medical care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post potless Posted March 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2020 Tourists are going home because their holidays are over. Others may have gone home early in case they get stranded. Any new tourists cant get in due to flight cancellations and the Covid free certificate and insurance requirements. Obvious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.ex. Finland the government said get back or you might get stranded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
