Poland converts stadium into field hospital, Czech army sets up emergency beds

“The latest epidemiological data cannot leave us indifferent,” Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Sunday as he announced another round of tight restrictions. “The analysis indicates a rapid growth, with the stress on the national health system at worrying levels.”Spare capacity in the ICUs in Campania, the southern Italian region that includes Naples, is so short that Governor Luca is calling for a national lockdown.

Belgian health authorities are reporting 750 patients in ICU and said the country’s hospitals could reach the 2,000-patient capacity within two weeks. Ireland is the outlier. Early last week it announced an almost total lockdown that will last six weeks. Most retail shops were closed.On Sunday, Mr. Conte used his emergency decree powers to shut all bars and restaurants by 6 p.m. Pools, gyms and cinemas were for the second time since March. Restaurant tables were limited to four people during the reduced opening hours.

Some Italian restaurant and bar owners were distraught as they faced losing a substantial amount of their business. The 6 p.m. curfew will eliminate about half their incomes – Italians almost never eat dinner before 8 p.m. Over the weekend, there were anti-curfew protests in Milan, Rome and a few other cities.
