Northern Italy In The Grip Of Covid-19 Coronavirus

MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 26: One of the main road of the Brera neighborhood in the city center are seen empty on February 26, 2020 in Milan, Italy. The country is struggling to understand how it went from six coronavirus cases to 374 cases and 12 dead since last Friday, becoming Europe's worst-affected country. Many communities across the Lombardy and Veneto regions have seen the suspension of public events and church services, and the closure of grade schools, universities and museums. Twelve towns have been locked down entirely, with road blocks preventing the exit and entrance of people. The government has also imposed quarantines for those who have had close contact with confirmed cases of the illness. (Photo by Marco Di Lauro/Getty Images)
