ROME-Italy's effort to fight the coronavirus epidemic by quarantining 17 million people began in confusion on Sunday, as transport services continued, enforcement wasn't yet evident and Italians wondered how it was meant to work.
Under Quarantine Italian government planned lockdown Some provinces.
Health experts warn that a failure to quickly enforce the quarantine could be counterproductive, pushing people from the affected areas to leave, carrying the virus with them.
Italy placed some small towns under quarantine in late February, and banned many kinds of public gatherings.
South Korea added 483 cases for a total of 6,797 and Italy added 620 new cases and 49 fatalities in the 24 hours preceding its report Friday evening.
"It's madness. It's a disaster we weren't expecting," Maurizio Rasero, the mayor of Asti, one of the newly quarantined cities, said on Sunday, according to Italian media.
"People need clarity on decisions that affect their movement," said Luca Zaia, the governor of Veneto, home to three of the quarantined provinces, including Venice.
