Opposition nationalist League leader
Matteo Salvini said Monday that all of Italy should be turned
into a red zone to combat the coronavirus.
"Hospitals in mayhem, contagions rising, prison rebellions
and escapes, stock-market collapses, savings lost," Salvini
said.
"I've spoken to my allies (in the centre-right opposition).
"I telephoned Premier (Giuseppe) Conte and asked for a
meeting.
"I am close to all the people who are suffering and who are
scared.
"Together we can overcome this moment.
"It is necessary to put the country in a situation of
security by extending the so-called 'red zone' emergency
measures to the whole nation.
"The health of the Italian people comes first".
