Austria

Travelling in Austria does not generally result in a donation deferral.

Between 1.7–30.11, a stay of more than 20 hours in the eastern areas of the country will result in a donation deferral of 28 days. The donation restriction applies to the area east of the Linz-Graz line. Travelling in Linz and Graz will not result in a donation deferral, but travelling in Vienna will result in a donation deferral.

The donation deferral is due to a seasonal epidemic of the West Nile virus, and the deferral will begin from the date of return to Finland.
