Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte imposed a quarantine on the entire country of Italy beginning today (March 10, 2020), restricting movement and banning public gatherings, according to the RT website.
The move was announced by Conte last night, and came as Italy's death from the coronavirus rose by almost 100.
The number of deaths jumped from 366 to 463 yesterday, while the total number of cases grew from 7,375 to 9,172.
The restrictions took effect this morning. They include a blanket ban on all public gatherings, sporting events, and movement all over Italy. Closures of schools and universities across Italy have been extended to April 3, 2020.
