Gondoliers chat as they wait for customers near St Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy.

A draft decree seen by Reuters spelt out the draconian steps, ordering “the suspension of events of any nature… that entail the concentration of people and do not allow for a safety distance of at least one metre to be respected.” The measures are expected to be formally announced by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte after a meeting with regional governors later on Wednesday.

So far, games have been cancelled in the northern regions but gone ahead over the rest of the country. The outbreak has heavily disrupted daily life in the north, with cinemas and museums closed in some regions and many events cancelled including fashion shows and trade fairs.
