Furthermore, authorities required all citizens to stay at home, asking them to leave their houses only to buy food and get medical supplies.
After two months of lockdown, in May and during all the summer season, in Italy, as well in Europe, cities re-started their economic activities, with many concerns about the virus course.
In fact at the end of the season the curve of infections deeply increased.
