意大利下令大规模停工

As the novel coronavirus spread around the world, topping 100.000 cases across more than 100 countries over the weekend, Italy is imposing an extraordinary lockdown on about a quarter of its population and restricting public activities throughout the entire country.

随着这种新型冠状病毒在世界各地蔓延，上个周末在100多个国家出现了10万多例病例，意大利对该国约四分之一的人口实施了非同严格的封锁，并限制了全国各地的公共活动。

The quarantine includes the cities of Milan and Venice, as well as the entire northern region of Lombardy, Italy's financial heart. It affects more than 16 million people in coronavirus hotbed areas and is scheduled to remain in effect until at least April 3.

被隔离的城市包括米兰和威尼斯，以及意大利金融中心伦巴第的整个北部地区。它影响了冠状病毒爆发地区的1600多万人，并计划至少持续到4月3日。

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the move after confirmed cases in Italy spiked over the weekend. By Sunday, more than 7.300 people had been sickened and 366 had died — an uptick of 133 dead from the day before.

意大利总理朱塞佩·孔戴在上周末确诊病例激增后宣布了这一举措。截至周日，已有超过7300人患病，366人死亡，比前一天增加了133人。

"There will be a ban for everybody to move in and out of these territories and also within the same territory," Conte said. "Exceptions will be allowed only for proven professional needs, exceptional cases and health issues."

孔戴说:“将禁止所有人进出这些地区，也禁止在同一地区内活动。”“只有在专业需求、特殊情况和健康问题得到证明的情况下才允许例外。”

In addition to the lockdown, Italy's cordon sanitaire effort to tamp down on transmission includes temporarily shutting down all movie theaters, museums and other cultural sites throughout the country. Sporting events are closed to the public.

除了封锁之外，意大利的防疫封锁线包括暂时关闭全国所有的电影院、博物馆和其他文化场所，以遏制病毒传播。体育赛事不向公众开放。
