イタリアすごいっ？

イタリアが感染コントロールできるかどうかは、もう少し時間が経たないと分かりません。間違った道を爆進しても、明後日の方向に行くだけです。 https://t.co/oAQpt1HD1N

'A strange, absurd situation': Life in Italy's coronavirus 'red zone'

The same goes for those leaving, although AFP saw certain vehicles and cyclists being allowed through the cordon. "They're not residents in the area, they're just passing through," explains a soldier, while admitting that there is a still a margin of flexibility while the quarantine measures are being put in place.




Stefano Medaglia, a 32-year-old carpenter, arrives at the roundabout on foot, along with his wife and their baby in a pram. "We're keeping our distance from other people, we're taking precautions," says Medaglia, from Bertonico, one of the towns under quarantine. "It's calm there, there's no panic. But it's a strange, absurd situation," he says, adding that he fears for his family business in Somaglia. "I came to ask the police if it's possible to move within the red zone from one town to another," he explains. He has to make to do with a vague answer. Here again the rules governing which vehicles are allowed in don't appear entirely clear. "As long as they stay on the main roads, it's fine, they just need to avoid going into the villages on the small roads," explains a policeman. But how can they check who's going where? He answers with a shrug.

隔離された街に関してわりとルーズなルールが適用されているみたいだね。


Coronavirus: EU rules out Schengen border closures amid Italy outbreak With over 200 coronavirus cases and seven confirmed deaths, Italy is the worst-hit country outside Asia. But while towns and villages remain in lockdown, cross-border travel will continue.

Asked by reporters about whether Brussels was mulling the measure, EU Health and Food Safety Commissioner Stella Kyriakides noted that the World Health Organization had not advised imposing travel restrictions in Europe.



The EU's stance echoes France, which borders Italy, in which it has said there was no need to shut its borders over the spread of virus in Italy.

イタリアは自国の街を隔離したが、EUはイタリアとの国境の行き来を禁止する処置はとっていない、と。

・・・・・社会に恐怖と不安が蔓延すると”敵”を隔離して、独裁的指導者の指導を熱望するものだが、ここは冷静に対処しないとね。
