Italy set to announce strict lockdown

Italy is set to be efficiently placed under a nationwide lockdown over much of the Christmas and New Year period.

The country will be under “red-zone” restrictions over the public holidays, with non-essential shops, restaurants and bars closed, and Italians only allowed to travel for work, health and emergency reasons.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said it was “not an easy decision”.

“Our experts were seriously worried that there would be a jump in cases over Christmas… We, therefore, had to act,” he said in a news conference.
