The new decree, which will go into effect Tuesday local time, will require most individuals in Italy to refrain from traveling.
As the novel coronavirus continues to threaten most parts of the world, Italy has recently emerged as the worst-hit nation after China, where the virus originated. The official death rate in the European nation leaped from 97 to 463 on Monday, prompting Conte's decree. On Sunday, the number of individuals infected with the virus also increased from 7,375 to 9,172. All 20 regions of Italy now have reported cases of coronavirus.
"We are having an important growth in infections... and of deaths," the country's prime minister said."We all must give something up for the good of Italy. We have to do it now, and we'll only be able to if we all collaborate and adapt to these more stringent measures."
