In Italy, travel restrictions are being imposed across the country to prevent the spread of new coronavirus. Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte said, a new government decree will require all people in Italy to demonstrate a need to work, health conditions or other limited reasons to travel outside the areas where they live. He said, the restrictions will come into effect today.

Conte said, there won’t be just a red zone, but the whole of Italy as a protected area, referring to the quarantine order he signed for a vast swath of northern Italy over the weekend.
