The coronavirus has hit another fearful record last night. More than 50 million people are positive for the deadly virus worldwide.

The governor of the Italian Alpine province declared a “red zone” situation this Monday. As a result, non-essential shops and bars are closed and forbidden to serve meals. Citizens of this province are also banned from going out, except for special reasons such as going to work. The global pandemic integrated badly in Italy since the pandemic started this year in February.
Lombardy, Piedmont, and Valle d’Aosta, a small Alpine region of Italy are all under the “red zone” situation after COVID-19 came back to the Southern European nation. Serie A, the famous soccer league of this nation, is under a threat of postponing.
Italy registered about 935,104 cases of coronavirus, and about 41,394 Italians died because of the global pandemic. Eventually, Greece also suffered from the wave of COVID-19.
