Coronavirus: Italy imposes quarantine on millions
More than a quarter of Italy’s population have been placed in mandatory quarantine as the government attempts to stem the spread of coronavirus.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree just after midnight, which affects about 16 million people in the country’s prosperous north, including the Lombardy region and at least 14 provinces in neighbouring regions.
The measures will be in place until April 3.
