The main reason why the Italian epidemic fell into a "national red" state of emergency was because of the coming of the Easter holiday. In the past week or so, the traffic at many airports began to increase. According to the flight information, 2,500 passengers have booked the * * * flight 19 from Milan Airport to Iberian Peninsula (Spain) from April 3 to April 7.

This phenomenon can be seen that despite the epidemic, there are still many people looking forward to holidays and leisure. So in order to prevent people from gathering and flowing, the government made such a decision.

At the same time, it is understood that another important reason is that the Italian population is aging seriously, and the elderly are the group with the highest infection rate and mortality rate in COVID-19. In this epidemic, 90% of the deaths in Italy are elderly people over 70 years old. Therefore, the prevention and control of the epidemic in Italy is bound to be stricter and is expected to be controlled soon.
