Italy’s prime minister has placed the entire country on lockdown in an attempt to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.
Giuseppe Conte said the strict measures will be extended to the whole country on Tuesday – some million people – after parts of northern Italy were shut down earlier.
The measures, which he described as “I stay home”, mean people will only be permitted to travel for work or family emergencies.
There is already some confusion over what Italian citizens will still be allowed to do.
But what do these measures mean for different aspects of life?
Public transport
Mr Conte said public transport will remain operational and airports and train stations will remain open.
Tourists will be allowed to return home, but those departing and arriving on flights will have to justify themselves.
Under the previous lockdown affecting only the north, travellers at train stations had to sign police forms to say they were traveling for “proven work needs”, situations of necessity, health reasons or to return home.
People have had their temperatures checked at train stations.
Cars
On the main roads, police have been checking whether drivers are complying with the movement restrictions.
Cruise ships
At some ports, cruise ships have been forbidden to dock.
Checks were earlier introduced for cruise ship passengers arriving in Venice, who were not allowed to disembark to visit the city.
Restaurants
Bars and restaurants are only permitted to open between 6am to 6pm.
They must also be able to guarantee customers are at least one meter apart.
Businesses will be closed if they do not adhere to the rules.
Shops
Shops can remain open if they are able to guarantee the one-meter safety distance for customers.
Food stores are allowed to remain open at all hours.
On Monday evening, Sky News Italia reported many people had rushed to supermarkets across Italy following the prime minister’s announcement.
Large and medium-sized shopping centers and markets have been told to close at weekends.
