The schedule on the Pasažieru vilciens website and app has been updated, and there are no changes in the remaining 203 runs. The company urges people who have returned from abroad or have contacted a Covid-19 patient to abstain from going on a train for 14 days.
Notably fewer people are riding buses and trains in Latvia during the Covid-19 outbreak. On March 17, an infected passenger was discovered to be on a train from Rīga towards Zilupe, with the country's disease center reporting the situation and further decreasing passenger willingness to use public transportation.
