Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Wuhan, China, where Corona 19 began, and gave comfort and encouragement. The additional confirmation patient is believed to have gone down to 20 people for three consecutive days, demonstrating confidence that they have virtually won the virus and the war. Unlike in China, the number of patients continues to increase in Europe. Italy, in particular, has nearly 10,000 confirmed patients. Italy has now decided to restrict the movement of people in all regions.
Reporter Kim Ji-sung first look at the report and I'll share the details behind it.

Italian police block the road and inspect the villagers.
This is because travel was prohibited except for work or health reasons.
Even in Venice, a world-renowned tourist destination, people are almost lost.
In Italy, Corona19 confirmed more than 1,797 people a day, with 9,172 cumulative confirmations.
The Italian government has imposed restrictions on travel throughout Italy from today (the 10th) to the 3rd of next month.
Just one day after the restriction on movement in the north, the region was expanded nationwide.
[Giuseppe Conte / Italian Prime Minister: You must stay at home now. Our future, the future of Italy is in our hands.]
Italy also stopped all sporting events.
For the first time since World War II, Italian professional football Serie A was also discontinued.
The riots that followed the inmates' ban on family visits lasted two days in more than 20 prisons and seven people have been killed.
Based in Italy, the number of confirmed persons in other European countries continued to rise, surpassing 1,000 in France, Spain and Germany.

[Reporter Kim Ji-sung: The first among European countries to declare a state of emergency. We also immediately stopped direct flights to China. Then there were few additional checkers for three weeks, but things have changed dramatically since last month. Applicants began to follow, especially in northern Italy, where Milan is located. It may have been that these three weeks of silence kept the anti-government authorities away.
Northern Italy is also the center of the Italian economy and finance. Many foreigners come and go, because the Italian government blocked direct flights from China, but entered foreign countries without strict quarantine procedures. That may be another reason.]
Q. Italy, 'China' country in Europe… Was it affected?
[Reporter Kim Ji-sung: Last 2008. After the economic crisis, Chinese companies took over a number of companies in northern Italy that were in trouble. It's a lot more coming and going with China. There are also 58 million tourists a year in Italy, of which 3.5 million are Chinese. In the early stages of spread, Italians were not wearing preventive masks unless they were patients. It is also analyzed that a lot of physical contact such as ball kissing is one of the causes.]
Q. European countries block the borders of Italy?
