Monday marks the two-week anniversary of the country’s first nationwide quarantine, an important milestone that corresponds with the maximum incubation period for the virus.
Quarantine rules have been tightened along the way, but under current rules, all factories and offices are closed and more than 60 million Italians have been told to stay at home except for"essential" errands like medical visits or food shopping. Italy's public health experts say the number of new infections should soon start to slow.
Government health officials in Italy have circled Saturday, March 28, on their calendars as the date by which it should be clear if the national quarantine is working as expected.
"Then I guess we would have to tighten the rules even more, as the Chinese did in Wuhan," he said, referring to the Chinese city where the coronavirus first appeared last year."We’d have to lock everyone in their homes with no option to leave under any circumstances. We’d have to deploy the military in the streets to force anyone who steps outside to go back home.
