Sweden’s foreign minister Ann Linde (pictured) has announced that it is to extend its ban on non-essential travel to countries outside the EU and EEA until 15 April 2021.
The ban, which first came into effect in March last year, was due to last until 31 January but has now been extended.
Business travel is considered as essential travel but Linde warned travellers to consider the necessity of their trip.
“Even if you have to carry out a necessary business trip you need to read up on what applies, follow the rules once you're there, and have a plan for your return journey," she said in a press conference.
The country has also extended its ban on arrivals from the United Kingdom, Norway and Denmark until at least 14 February.
