TORONTO -- Around the world, normally bustling cities are coming to a standstill as governments mandate strict lockdowns amid the widening COVID-19 pandemic.
Other countries that have announced lockdown measures include France, Iran, Denmark, and Israel. In the U.S., governors in California, Illinois, and Ohio have asked all restaurants and bars to close or reduce the number of customers allowed in at a time. New York City is shutting the country’s largest public school system.
She said the streets have mostly quieted, except for at 6 p.m. every evening when people take to their balconies to play music and sing together. “People out there who think they’re going to be OK from this because they are young and healthy, not only is that irresponsible if you’re not taking care, because you are going to pass it on to people who will be affected, but you’re also not invincible,” she warned.While reports of people hoarding toilet paper and clearing out grocery store shelves in North America made headlines around the world, Schalm said that hasn’t been the case in Italy under lockdown.
Harry and Joan Fehr, a couple from Manitoba who are visiting Italy for a few months, said they haven’t had any problems purchasing supplies they need in Rome.
