Italy stricter restrictions on going out to 4,825 dead 6:08 on March 22
Nearly 800 new people have died in Italy, the world's most killed person by the new coronavirus, on Tuesday, leaving 4,825 people dead. There are 53,578 infected people.
In Italy, the number of seriously ill patients in the north, where the number of infected people is high, has surged, and the medical situation is tight.
As a result, hospitals in Cremona, approximately 80 km from the central city of Milan, have been strengthened, including the establishment of an open-air hospital equipped with an intensive care unit with the support of the US NGO.
Meanwhile, the Italian government has tightened restrictions on outings to limit the spread of infection, closed all parks nationwide from the 21st, and has stated that jogging and other activities are not permitted outside of homes.
In order to take thorough measures, police officers are increasing surveillance, and in the center of Rome, the square of Spain, which is usually crowded with tourists, is almost completely empty and the city has changed completely. A man jogging near the plaza was stopped by a police officer, and in some cases he was warned.
Checks were also conducted on major roads, and police officers stopped vehicles and checked whether they had the necessary documents to travel.
A man who said he was going to work said, "Despite the deaths, the virus itself is not visible at all," raising the fear that the infection would not stop.
An elderly man said, "I'm anxious because I don't know when it will end. I've never experienced this situation. It's worse than the war."
