The whole world is living a real panic because of the new Covid 19 coronavirus... The specter of complete isolation threatens everyone, but Italy has been hit by the dreaded virus in an accelerating way as it has recorded thousands of infection cases and about 15 deaths within few days, which led to the imposition of mandatory isolation, with the eternal country turning into a ghost one.

Airports stopped

The Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the drastic measures calling on citizens to “stay at home” and banned all public gatherings. “I am going to sign a decree that can be summarized as follows: I stay at home,” he said. “The whole of Italy will become a protected zone.”

The Isolated Italy, after the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, severely banned travel to and from it, closed schools, universities. It is not permissible to leave homes after 6:00 pm.

Italians are firmly applying “I am staying home” slogan; they only leave in the case of extreme need, such as going to work or for shopping. In this case, they should follow strict measures including, avoid crowding, friction and keeping a considerable distance between each other.

Pigeons alone in the streets of Italy

Beautiful Italy has turned into a big prison, with harsh sanctions. Italians are known for their deep love for art, music, and to stay up late, thus they have decided to live, enjoy and to combat virus fears, even if from their balconies.

In spite of Italy’s complete lockdown, the Italian people decided to practice their adorable hobbies of dancing, and singing inside their apartments, and also collectively, as their balconies has become their open-air theatre…the only link between each other.

Roads and transportation are empty

At one time, everyone goes out to their balconies to sing and play music together as an expression of the spirit of life and their adherence to resisting this damn virus.

In another scene, on Saturday at noon, many people across the country went onto their balconies to offer a round of applause to the doctors and nurses working on the front-lines of the crisis.

They are always creative despite the pain, isolation and the specter of death.It is worth mentioning that the president of the Medical Guild of Varese, Roberto Stella, has died of coronavirus. He was 67.
