ROME—Italy has entered a three-day strict nationwide lockdown to deter Easter travel and in a move the government said was to help prevent new surges of the coronavirus.
Even though the rate of infections is coming down, the Health Ministry placed all regions into the strictest “red zone” lockdown through Monday as a precaution. The lockdown, announced last month, means restrictions on personal movement to outside regions, with each household limited to no more than two adult visitors and their children under 14.
