Approximately 16 million Italians have been placed under forced quarantine in northern Italy.
This decision was made in an attempt to prevent the further spread of the Covid-19 virus.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte stated that “There will be no movement in or out of these areas, or within them, unless for proven, work-related reasons, emergencies or health reasons,”.
The quarantine is to remain in place until the 3rd of April.
