Italy's premier says all stores except pharmacies and grocery stores are being closed nationwide
BY , Mar 11, 2020 10:29 PM - REPORT AN ERRORItaly's premier says all stores except pharmacies and grocery stores are being closed nationwide in response to the country's coronavirus outbreak.
Premier Giuseppe Conte thanked the public for co-operating with the already unprecedented travel and social restrictions that took effect Tuesday.
But he said Wednesday night on Facebook Live that Italy must `` go another step'' by closing all shops and businesses except for food stores, pharmacies and other shops selling ''essential'' items.
The tighter restrictions on daily life are the government's latest effort to respond to the fast moving crisis that took Italy's number of cases from three to 12,462 in less than three weeks.
