Italy bans inter-region travel
The European country of Italy has imposed a strict inter-region travel ban in order to make sure that the Covid-19 crisis does not intensify between 21st December and 6th January.
The ban has been introduced in view of the possible spike in travel during the Christmas week.
As part of the ban, a curfew has also been introduced in the country. A curfew will be in place from 22:00 to 05:00.
The ban is expected to affect almost all services, including restaurants. In some region, takeaways will be allowed.
Italy is one of the worst affected countries in the continent of Europe.
The latest ban is an attempt to minimize the impact of the second wave of Covid-19. The first wave has brought a devastating impact on the country.
“We cannot let down our guard;” says Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, while speaking in a press conference to discuss the matter.
The ban is not to affect medical services and emergency services.
