Italy instituted a mandatory quarantine for 16 million people in the northern part of the country that includes Milan and Venice, in a desperate bid to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The quarantine will last until April 3, according to the draft, and residents could face fines or jail time if they attempt to enter or leave the area before then , The Guardian reported. The new decree for the region also bans public events, conferences, and religious and civil ceremonies like weddings and funerals. Cinemas, theaters, gyms, bars, ski resorts and museums will be shut down. Schools and universities have already been closed, and that will continue.
