ROME: Travelling in and out of Italy's coronavirus-hit north continued by rail, road and air on Monday despite a government crackdown that was meant to isolate the region.
At Milan's central station, passengers had to queue up at special checkpoints staffed by soldiers and police. Ryanair said on Monday it was reducing services in part because many passengers were not turning up for flights they had booked. Travellers venturing in or out of the new zone are meant to present"self-declarations" of their reasons for travel, which officials say can then be reviewed at further checkpoints.Checks are also being introduced for cruise ships at Venice port.
