Coronavirus: Venice Carnival closes as Italy
imposes Iockdown
23 February 2020
Italian officials have cut short the Venice Carnival as
they try to control what is now the worst outbreak of
the coronavirus in Europe.
Authorities in the Veneto region said the event
would end later on Sunday, two days earlier than
scheduled. Italy has by far the highest number of
coronavirus cases in Europe, with 152. Three people
have died. Italy has imposed strict quarantine
restrictions in two northern “hotspot” regions dose to
Milan and Venice.
About 50,000 people cannot enter or leave
several towns in Veneto and Lombardy for the next two
weeks without special permission. Even outside the
zone, many businesses and schools have suspended
activities, and sporting events have been cancelled.
The BBC’s Mark Lowen described the situation just
outside the zone. In neighbouring Austria, a train from
Venice was stopped at the Austrian border after it
emerged that two passengers had fever symptoms.
Austria’s Interior Minister Karl Nehammer later
confirmed to the BBC that the pair tested negative for
coronavirus.
"All authorities have acted quickly and with
great caution in this case," said Mr Nehammer in a
statement. "The reporting chain worked without delay."
Elsewhere, authorities in South Korea and Iran are
battling to control rising numbers of infections. South
Korea has raised its coronavirus alert to the "highest
level".
The new strain of coronavirus, which
originated last year in Hubel province in China, causes
a respiratory disease called Covid-19. China has seen
more than 76,000 infections and 2,442 deaths.
What is happening in Italy?
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on
Saturday that "extraordinary measures" would come
into force to try to stem the rising number of
coronavirus cases.
He said the quarantine restrictions could last
for weeks, Police, and if necessary the armed forces,
will have the authority to ensure me regulations are
enforced.
Angelo Borrelli, the head of Italy’s Civil
Protection Department, told reporters that 110 of the
confirmed cases were in Lombardy, with 21 in Veneto
with others in Emilia-Romagna and Lazio. Officials
reported a third death on Sunday, an elderly woman
from the town of Crema suffering from cancer. Italian
officials say they are still trying to trace the source of
the outbreak.
Universities in Milan have been closed and the
city’s mayor, Giuseppe Sala, said schools would also
close their doors while the outbreak continued. “As a
precaution I think that the schools have to be closed in
Milan. I will propose to the president of the region to
enlarge the precaution to the entire metropolitan city
area. It is just a precaution, we don’t want to create
panic," he said.
