Italy is one of the countries most affected by the corona crisis in Europe. Authorities reported thousands of new infections every day in March and April. In total, 333,940 people have been diagnosed with the virus so far. The death toll is more than 36,000 according to official figures. Due to the increasing number of infections, the Italian government also makes it compulsory outside.

In total, more than 6 million infections have been detected in Europe, according to figures from the AFP news agency. Russia has reported the most corona cases (over 1.2 million), followed by Spain (825,410) and France (669,235).
