In Umbria there are 37 positive cases with10 patients hospitalized with Covid19. There are 2 in intensive care. All normal hospital appointments have been cancelled at Terni. Even with so few cases in the region the health system is feeling the strain.

RyanAir itself is still saying business as usual, it'd be worth checking regularly though to see if that changes. https://www.ryanair.com/lv/en/useful...virus-covid-19

Strange times indeed. Have just seen this on the BBC Live Feed
Ryanair has announced it has cancelled all international flights to and from Italy from Saturday until 9 April.

Passengers who need to return home can switch to one of the flights operating up to the end of the day on Friday.

A Ryanair spokesman said: "Ryanair apologises sincerely to all customers for these schedule disruptions, which are caused by national government restrictions and the latest decision of the Italian government to lock down the entire country to combat the Covid-19 virus."

Meanwhile, British Airways is cancelling all UK-Italy flights until 4 April, and airline Jet2 has cancelled their flights to and from the country until 26 April.

Anyone who needs to return home is allowed to travel to the airport/port/station. Whether there will be a plane is getting less and less likely.

I have just been to renew my tessera sanitaria at the ASL. The assistant is behind glass wearing a face mask that doesn't make for easy communication. She told me next time I will need a permesso di sorgiorno permanente. At another shop they had built a plastic box around the counter and everyone is shouting.

Our local shops have varying procedures- gloves or not, hand gel or not, wait one metre away from the person in front at the till-but inside the shop this does not apply.
Only one person at a time inside the farmacia-queue outside. Most people are wearing masks but you can't buy any now!
My Italian is very poor but now I don't understand anything that people who wear masks say DOH!

All the Health Service Offices are making people queue outside. It is a good thing that the warm weather is returning. Lets hope a good blast of summer heat gets rid of the problem.

I don't know what to make of this

That's usually how I feel after reading a DM article.

"Driving through the night" seems a bit melodramatic, for a journey between two cities that are only 115kms apart!

An interesting article explaining the situation in Italy and warning against indecision.. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/fe...120514339.html
