Italy stood still yesterday. Quarantine measures now apply to the entire country. The Italian government has restricted the movement of 60 million Italians to only the most essential. Without proven needs, staying in the "outdoors" is simply prohibited. Violations are punishable by imprisonment of up to three months. People die in homes. Hospitals and intensive care have not had the capacity for the most urgent cases for several days. A state of war or state of emergency applies. This is also why everyone can already take measures today, with which we will jointly help contain the coronavirus in Slovenia as well.

In the editorial office, we dug into the numbers and comprehensive statistics of the outbreak in Italy and concluded that the situation in Slovenia at the very beginning of the outbreak was not good. Already 250 infected will mean the same level of severity of the epidemic as in Italy. Serious and excessive action is recommended! Only in this way can the long-term consequences be contained.
