The country also saw huge queues outside stores as shoppers tried to purchase as many food items as they could as the country enters lockdown.
Italian PM Giuseppe Conte said that the measures were designed to protect the most vulnerable.
“There is no more time,” said Giuseppe.
“We all must give something up for the good of Italy. We have to do it now.”
“This is why I decided to adopt even more strong and severe measures to contain the advance… and protect the health of all citizens.”
“I have been thinking about the old speeches of Churchill – it is our darkest hour, but we will make it”.
UK LOCKDOWN ‘WITHIN WEEKS’
Britain could enter lockdown ‘within the next two weeks’, and anyone with even mild symptoms of respiratory infection will be told to stay home for a week.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “I want to stress the following things. First, we are doing everything we can to combat this outbreak based on the latest scientific and medical advice.”
“Second, we have a truly brilliant NHS where staff have responded with all the determination, compassion and skill that makes their service so revered across the world and they will continue to have this government’s full support, my support, in tackling this virus on the front line.”
“Third, we will set out further steps in the days and weeks ahead to help people protect themselves, their family and in particularly the elderly and vulnerable.”
Professor Chris Whitty, the UK government’s chief medical officer said the deadly virus could spread “really quite fast within the next 10 to 14 days, even people with a minor fever or respiratory tract infection would be advised to self-isolate.”
“We are going to be reaching that step in the near future,” he added.
British medics have focused on identifying and isolating people with the virus and tracing their contacts in an effort to contain or – if that fails – slow the spread of the illness.
U.K. officials say cancelling big events or making large numbers of people stay home at this point would be counterproductive, because people would tire of the constraints just when they are needed most, at the outbreak´s peak.
“You need to carry the population with you,” said Susan Michie, professor of health psychology at University College London. “Because unless you carry the population with you, then people won´t adhere to it – or a significant proportion won´t – and then you undermine the whole strategy.”
Officials insist they are not complacent, and say Britain will introduce stronger measures as the virus spreads.
Mark Woolhouse, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh, said the government´s response so far had been “measured and well-judged.”
“Containment was always likely to fail in the end,” he said. “But I do judge that it has been successful in holding the epidemic back in the U.K. for some days or weeks.”
The Government will also intervene in the economy to cushion the impact of the outbreak, which has hammered global stock markets and hurt travel companies, airlines and bricks-and-mortar retailers.
The government´s annual budget, due on Wednesday, has been hastily rewritten. Treasury chief Rishi Sunak is considering measures to stimulate an economy already weighed down by uncertainty over Britain´s future trade relationship with the European Union.
Business groups have urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak to let firms defer tax payments, and to back emergency loans for struggling enterprises. Unions sough a guarantee that self-employed and contract workers will get sick pay if they have to stay home.
Sunak said the economic impact of the virus would be “significant” but temporary. He told the BBC that the government would act to give businesses “a bridge through a temporary period of difficulty so that they can emerge on the other side and we can get back to normal quickly.”
“We don´t know exactly which scenario we might be in, but we´re preparing for all of them,” he said.

IRELAND LOCKDOWN
THE REPUBLIC of Ireland is set to go into lockdown tonight as the Coronavirus Crisis spreads across the world.
Schools, colleges and childcare centres in the country will be shutdown for two weeks.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar also said large indoor and outdoor gatherings should be cancelled, while the country’s Army is ready to respond to requests for emergency help.
Home working is encouraged and socialising should be limited, official advice said.
It adds that break times in workplaces must be staggered to reduce the infection’s spread and meetings should be held remotely.
The Irish Government plans aim to ensure the food supply chain remains uninterrupted and shops are to stay open.
Restaurants, cafes and other businesses can continue trading but should look at ways to implement public health advice recommending social distancing.
Mr Varadkar said: “We have not witnessed a pandemic of this nature in living memory. This is unchartered territory.”
Ireland recorded its first death from Covid-19 this week involving an elderly woman being treated in a Dublin hospital.
By Wednesday night, the country had 43 cases.
A letter from Dr Tony Holohan, Ireland’s chief medical officer, to the Government said the number of cases detected had significantly increased in recent days.
It noted a number of intensive care unit hospital admissions.
The death, clusters of infection including at two hospitals and community transmission were other factors behind the advice.
The move was also in line with communication from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control that cases outside known cases of transmission represented a strong signal for social distancing.
It said: “The early, decisive, rapid, coordinated and comprehensive implementation of closures and quarantines is likely to be more effective in slowing the spread of the virus than a delayed implementation.”
Cultural institutions like museums and tourist sites will close in an effort to limit spread of the virus.
All indoor gatherings of more than 100 people and outdoor events involving more than 500 should be cancelled, the Irish Government said.
Arrangements are being made to ensure everyone entering Ireland through ports and airports is fully informed and self-isolates if they develop symptoms.

Mr Varadkar addressed the nation from Washington DC, where he is meeting US President Donald Trump, as he took swift action following updated advice from medics on Wednesday.
Health Minister Simon Harris confirmed the country has entered the delay phase of its response to the virus.
That means the infection is being transmitted between members of the community rather than limited to those who have been to Italy or other blighted regions or their close contacts.
The drastic steps aim to reduce the peak impact of the virus and slow its spread, relieving pressure on the health system.
Mr Varadkar said many more people in Ireland would fall ill with the infection.
And he added: “Unfortunately we must face the tragic reality that some people will die.
“The virus is all over the world, it will continue to spread but it can be slowed.”
He said the Government has a duty to protect those at-risk categories of citizens, such as older people and those with underlying health conditions.

So their tactics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually listen ?

They definitely do know how to take over communities , especially if a group of campaigners are from the same community .

Taking Over Communities
They definitely do know how to take over communities, especially if a group of campaigners are from the same community. Sometimes it can come across as forceful and is very unwelcome.

It’s hard to ignore if it’s pasted on nearly every shop window in your community. They also hold rallies outside of shops to try and get the local community to listen to what they have to say.

She said: “The view that the health secretary and I have come to is that there are wider issues to take account of here.”
“Mass gatherings require to be policed, they require to have emergency ambulance cover, they require the services of voluntary health services.”
“At a time when we need to be reducing the pressures on these frontline workers – in order to free them up to focus on the significant challenge that lies ahead – I do think it’s inappropriate that we continue as normal.”
“The PM is set to announce that Britain will go into the “delay” phase as the number of cases jumped significantly.”
Number Ten rebuffed critisim of non-action by saying: “The PM’s spokesperson said: “We believe that we are taking our decisions bases on the best scientific advice that is available.”
“We follow our own advice. They [Ireland] will do the same.”
TRUMP EURO TRAVEL BAN
DONALD Trump stunned Brussels last night by announcing a travel ban from all EU countries with freedom of movement – excluding the UK from the ban.
The EU said: “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent, and requires cooperation rather than unilateral action,” adding that the decision was made “unilaterally and without consultation”, the statement continued, adding: “The EU is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus.”
IRELAND LOCKDOWN
THE REPUBLIC of Ireland is set to go into lockdown tonight as the Coronavirus Crisis spreads across the world.
Schools, colleges and childcare centres in the country will be shutdown for two weeks.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar also said large indoor and outdoor gatherings should be cancelled, while the country’s Army is ready to respond to requests for emergency help.
Home working is encouraged and socialising should be limited, official advice said.
It adds that break times in workplaces must be staggered to reduce the infection’s spread and meetings should be held remotely.
The Irish Government plans aim to ensure the food supply chain remains uninterrupted and shops are to stay open.
Restaurants, cafes and other businesses can continue trading but should look at ways to implement public health advice recommending social distancing.
Mr Varadkar said: “We have not witnessed a pandemic of this nature in living memory. This is unchartered territory.”
Ireland recorded its first death from Covid-19 this week involving an elderly woman being treated in a Dublin hospital.
By Wednesday night, the country had 43 cases.
A letter from Dr Tony Holohan, Ireland’s chief medical officer, to the Government said the number of cases detected had significantly increased in recent days.
It noted a number of intensive care unit hospital admissions.
The death, clusters of infection including at two hospitals and community transmission were other factors behind the advice.
The move was also in line with communication from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control that cases outside known cases of transmission represented a strong signal for social distancing.
It said: “The early, decisive, rapid, coordinated and comprehensive implementation of closures and quarantines is likely to be more effective in slowing the spread of the virus than a delayed implementation.”
Cultural institutions like museums and tourist sites will close in an effort to limit spread of the virus.
All indoor gatherings of more than 100 people and outdoor events involving more than 500 should be cancelled, the Irish Government said.
Arrangements are being made to ensure everyone entering Ireland through ports and airports is fully informed and self-isolates if they develop symptoms.
Mr Varadkar said: “Together we can slow the virus in its tracks and push it back.
“Acting together, as one nation, we can save many lives.”
He currently leads a caretaker Government following last month’s inconclusive election, and political meetings aimed at forming a new administration have been paused due to the emergency.
Mr Varadkar addressed the nation from Washington DC, where he is meeting US President Donald Trump, as he took swift action following updated advice from medics on Wednesday.
Health Minister Simon Harris confirmed the country has entered the delay phase of its response to the virus.
That means the infection is being transmitted between members of the community rather than limited to those who have been to Italy or other blighted regions or their close contacts.
The drastic steps aim to reduce the peak impact of the virus and slow its spread, relieving pressure on the health system.
Mr Varadkar said many more people in Ireland would fall ill with the infection.
And he added: “Unfortunately we must face the tragic reality that some people will die.
“The virus is all over the world, it will continue to spread but it can be slowed.”
He said the Government has a duty to protect those at-risk categories of citizens, such as older people and those with underlying health conditions.
“We said we would take the right actions at the right time and we have to move now to have the greatest impact,” he said.
School closures are among restrictions coming into place at 6pm on Thursday.
People have been urged to continue to go to work but, where possible, do so from home.
Public transport will continue to operate.
Mr Varadkar said: “Above all, we all need to look out for each other.
“Ireland is a great nation. And we are great people.
“We have experienced hardship and struggle before. We have overcome many trials in the past with our determination and our spirit.
“We will prevail.”
