Over 16 million people, including those in Milan and Venice, will be banned from travelling, barring those with special permission, under the government’s strict quarantine measures.
Public spaces such as schools, nightclubs, museums, gyms, ski resorts, and swimming pools will all be closed until at least April 3rd.
Large events such as weddings, funerals, and cultural and religious events will also be banned during the quarantine, according to to the BBC.
