Italy to Lock Down Milan Region

“The Italian government is set to dramatically restrict movement and activity for a quarter of its population, or about 16 million people,” according to a draft decree seen by Bloomberg.

“The decision to lock down the Milan region and several other northern areas, is the latest step to fight Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak. They come as cases surged to 5,883 with 233 deaths, and on the day Nicola Zingaretti, the leader of one of the two major government parties, announced he had contracted the illness.”
