What’s the latest across Europe?
In Serbia, not everyone’s as happy as Partizan’s footballers and supporters after their cup semi-final victory over Red Star on Thursday night. Some health experts are worried that 25,000 fans were allowed to attend the derby. Belgrade medic Dejan Zujovic told Reuters it was “a huge, enormous, totally unjustified epidemiological risk”.
Meanwhile, Sweden is being snubbed again by its neighbours. Finland said on Thursday it was lifting cross-border restrictions with all Nordic and Baltic countries, but Sweden’s high infection rate means it’s still excluded. Now Norway is set to maintain restrictions on Sweden too, public broadcaster NRK reports. Anyone visiting Sweden will be required to go into quarantine for 10 days when they return. Sweden didn’t impose a formal lockdown and announced a record 1,474 new cases on Thursday.
