A meeting on the coronavirus
emergency at the civil protection department chaired by Premier
Giuseppe Conte with several ministers and some regional
governors in video link considered the idea of suspending the
Schengen regime and reinstating intra-EU border controls but
dismissed it.
"Although it is legally feasible, such a suspension would not
be sustainable in practical terms," the civil protection
department said.
"In any case, such a measure would not guarantee any
precautionary effectiveness".
As of Tuesday the civil protection department will host an
meeting of ministers and governers every day for as long as
necessary to address the emergency.
