In recent days, Italy has become Europe's most dangerous focus on the spread of the Corona virus. Hundreds of people infected in the north of Italy have caused a curfew, travel warnings and seven deaths, and the Italians still can't find the first infectious agent and how to curb the outbreak that is causing panic across Europe due to the possibility of passing cars, flights and trains and the fear of an outbreak in all neighboring countries.

Tamar Matan Israeli, who lives in Milan, spoke to Israel today about the situation in the region, the fears and the empty streets in one of Europe's most visited cities.

"There is panic here. In accordance with the guidelines for maximum hygiene, disinfectants (bleach, gel hands and masks) have run out of pharmacies and supermarkets. Most people avoid going to public places even if some are still open and if possible stay at home. People are avoiding the metro and prefer to work in cars. The guidelines are to avoid public places, in addition to closing schools and universities for a week now. "

"I heard from some close friends whose acquaintances canceled the area. Workplaces are working as usual, but some work from home when possible. To prevent contagion, meetings are held via Skype, arrangements have been undermined here. Cancellations canceled, events canceled, everything here changed very quickly as a result of the expansion." , Adds Matan.

The Italians also say that "Italians are convinced that if basic hygiene rules such as hand washing and public places are avoided, the danger will be significantly reduced. At present, there are a number of quarantined cities, do not go out or enter and residents are asked to stay at home. When some of the city's attractions are closed due to the situation, "Tamar concludes.
