Hi everyone.
Apparantly all Italy to Austria rail services are suspended after a passenger was suspected to suffer from the corona virus.
I could not yet find an English language article.
Hope the Austrian one will suffice for the time being.

OE24 translated said:Due to the suspicion of two cases of coronavirus on a train from Venice to Munich, passenger traffic between Austria and Italy was stopped for a few hours across the Brenner border.
According to oe24-EXKLUSIV reports, both the State Medical Service and the Ministry of the Interior confirmed that 500 passengers were temporarily stuck in two passenger trains at the Italian border station on the Brenner Pass in the late Sunday evening. The trip continued at 11:30 p.m., the Italian rail company said.
Shortly before, the Austrian Ministry of the Interior had given the all-clear. "The two people suspected of being corona were tested negatively. The train will therefore continue shortly," said Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) in a statement. Identity checks are carried out for all passengers who get off in Austria.
