The outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has reached Venice, one of the cities with the highest tourist index in the country. As reported by the president of Veneto , Luca Zaia, there are two people infected in Venice, which add up to 89 cases in Lombardy , 24 in Veneto (2 in Venice), 9 in Emilia Rogmana and 6 in Piedmont . In all of Italy there are already 132 infected , 26 of which are in the ICU.

Zaia has been very worried and has announced "very strict" measures to limit contagion and not only in Vo 'Euganeo, where there are 9 confirmed cases and where the first fatality came from, but also in Venice where Carnival could be canceled . At the moment, there are 9 infections in Emilia Romagna , which are joined in Rome by the two Chinese tourists and the Italian researcher evacuated from Wuhan, although the latter was discharged.

For his part, the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala , has announced that he will order to close the schools and that although "he does not want an armored city" measures must be taken.

The first fatality was confirmed Friday night. Adriano Trevistan was 78 years old and had been admitted to a Veneto hospital for 10 days. Hours later, the Italian authorities confirmed the death of the second victim, a woman of 75 from Lombardy whose identity has not transcended. The woman, who suffered from other health problems, tested positive after she died at home , so it will be necessary to perform an autopsy to confirm if the death occurred due to the coronavirus or was the result of a previous pathological complication .

Experts believe that the woman could have coincided in hospital emergencies with the considered 'patient 1', a 38-year-old man who is admitted in serious conditions at the San Matteo Hospital in Pavia , one of the centers that have been enabled in Northern Italy to face the emergency. The Italian authorities consider this man, who according to local media would be called Mattia, employed at an Italian Unilever branch and resident in Codogno , the point of origin from which the virus spread in northern Italy.

All the patients who have been positive in Lombardy had come into contact with him : his wife, 8 months pregnant, a friend with whom he used to play sports and run a bar, as well as the healthcare staff who attended him and several people with That would have coincided in the emergency room. These, in turn, would have spread the virus among the people with whom they came into contact creating a chain of contagion that already affects more than fifty people in northern Italy.

The rapidity with which the disease has spread has surprised specialists , who are trying to reconstruct all the movements of the so-called 'patient 1' in the last 19 days. The concern of the Italian authorities is now to find out where the outbreak of coronavirus originated, after the Deputy Minister of Health said on Saturday that he who was considered the 'patient 0' never had the virus.

The number of deaths remains two, a 78-year-old man , who was not at any time in contact with 'patient 1' or traveled to China, and a 77-year-old woman who was in Codogno, but who died last 20 February at home for respiratory complications, although he tested positive for the virus in a test performed after his death.

Since Sunday, the measures approved during the night have come into effect in an extraordinary council of ministers to prevent the mobility of people in 11 locations. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte recognized the seriousness of the situation and announced the mobilization of law enforcement to prevent residents in areas subject to isolation from leaving the area : "The Armed Forces are ready."

These are Casalpusterlengo , Codogno , Castiglione d'Adda , Fombio , Maleo , Somaglia , Bertonico , Terranova dei Passerini , Castelgerundo and Sanfiorano , in the region of Lombardia, where about 50,000 people live, and Vo 'Euganeo , in Veneto, with 4,000 inhabitants

In addition to canceling some public events in the Veneto and Lombardy regions starting with all the scheduled Serie A Italian football Inter-Sampdoria, Atalanta-Sassuolo and Verona-Cagliari and it was also decided to suspend the Torino-Parma match.

University activities have also been canceled throughout the next week in Lombardy and Veneto.

For her part, the Minister of Education, Lucia Azzolina , decided to suspend school trips both within Italy and abroad.

"People have locked themselves up at home and don't go out. They are terrified," Marcello explains via telephone from Codogno, the town considered the focus of the coronavirus outbreak.

One of the citizens' concerns is whether they will be able to find food and therefore, both in the towns such as Casalpusterlengo and Codogno , the authorities send messages informing that some supermarkets will remain open.

Marcello shows in his videos walking around the town as he occasionally crosses a person or cars, but in general there is no one in the streets.

The parish priest of Codogno, Don Iginio , is locked in his church of Santa María Immaculada, and describes Efe the situation "as quiet" although "with some fear on the part of citizens."

"I try to give people confidence and hope that all this will develop positively, but I can do little without leaving here, although we will invent something," he says resigned to the phone.

The affected municipalities have issued a note requesting that the rules be respected "taking into account the critical importance of the health situation" and invite "anyone who experiences influenza and respiratory symptoms, who does not go to the hospital, but who contact the emergency number that has been made available.
