The entire population of Italy – 60 million people – has been told to stay at home in an unprecedented move aimed at containing the coronavirus.
The lockdown was originally confined to northern Italy but as the death toll began to climb, PM Giuseppe Conte said “strong and severe measures” were needed.
People will be forbidden to gather in public and all schools and universities will be closed until April 3.
All sporting events have been suspended nationwide.
Only those with a valid work or family reason that cannot be postponed will be allowed to travel.
PM Conte has described the outbreak as Italy’s “darkest hour”, but added that “we will make it”.
All of Italy has been put under “lockdown”. But what does it mean?
The latest figures from Italy show 9,172 cases and 463 deaths as of March 10.
