为应对日益严峻的抗疫形势，意大利总理孔特在当地时间9日晚宣布，10日起对伦巴第大区采取的封锁措施扩展至全国，除工作和家庭紧急事务外，人们将不被允许出行。据CNBC3月9日报道：Italy will expand the lockdown of the Lombardy region to the entire country, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Monday as Italy’s case count surged, making it the country with the most COVID-19 cases outside of China.
孔特指出，国内各大中小学应继续保持关闭，但公共交通会维持正常运转。他说道：“时间紧迫，我本人会为这些措施负责。我们要把握自己的未来。”People throughout the country of 60 million should not travel other than for work or emergencies, Conte said. He added that all public gatherings will be banned and sporting events suspended. The decision was made to protect the most vulnerable people in the country, he said, and the measures will take effect Tuesday and last until April 3.
孔特称，全国6000万人除工作或紧急情况外，应避免出行。他补充道，禁止所有公众聚集活动，体育赛事也将暂停。这些举措将于3月10日生效，并持续到4月3日，以保护本国最易受感染的人。
“The right decision today is to stay at home,” Conte said. “Our future and the future of Italy is in our hands. These hands have to be more responsible today than ever before.”
孔特说：“当前，待在家里才是正确的决定。“我们的未来和意大利的未来掌握在我们自己手中。现在，我们必须比以往任何时候都要负起责任。”
