- Svip 6y agoSweden did not close its borders, although it followed EU guidelines to close its borders beyond the EU. The US closed its borders to certain areas of the world, which is what this is comparable to.
- akmarinov 6y agoWell all other countries in the EU closed their borders to them, so it’s effectively the same thing.
- username90 6y agoNo they didn't. Danish, Finnish and Norwegian tourists are still coming to Sweden. It is just that Swedes can't go to them.

- oxymoran 6y agoAll the states around Michigan were locked down too. I’m sure there were a small amount of people crossing but we were effectively closed. We had a pretty strict lock down here and people followed it better than I expected they would. I’m not sure what to think but I do find it odd that 2 similar sized populations took radically different approaches and ended up in essentially the same spot.

However as a practical matter that will be difficult to enforce in any state with a long border. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-announces-individuals-traveling-new-york-three-additional-states-will-be https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-announces-in...
