Over 15 million people were meanwhile adjusting to quarantine measures after the government effectively shut whole swathes of the north, beginning with the Lombardy region.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte stated in a press conference held in the early hours of Sunday morning that he had signed off on plans to strictly limit movement in and out of the affected areas.
