The coronavirus arrived in Italy: at the beginning of March the order to stay at home and to leave the house only for basic necessities was given; all the schools closed.

What happened in the last months?

Since the last published article, many things have happened: the coronavirus has reached Italy. It was the Chinese who brought it to Italy, through their movement: the first people to prove positive in Italy were the Chinese, as stated by the WHO (World Health Organization).

Now the Italians are affected, including especially the elderly: in recent months there have been more and more cases, so Italy is among the countries with the most infected in the world.

It is from the first days of March that young Italian guys can no longer go to school so they study at home thanks to online lessons, and Italians cannot leave their houses except to go to the market and to go to the pharmacy: all this to avoid the further spread of this deadly virus.

There are still many doubts about how to resolve the situation, in fact there is still no cure. It is not known when the situation will finally be overcome, but in the meantime, we must stay at home, like Giuseppe Conte, Italian Prime Minister, ordered.
