Easyjet cancelling some flights to Italy
Budget airline easyJet is cancelling a number of flights to and from central and northern Italy after the country’s government imposed heavy restrictions on residents in a bid to tackle the spread of coronavirus.
Around 16 million people, more than a quarter of the Italian population, are in a state of lockdown until April 3 as the infection rate of Covid-19 continues to rise.
Italy has registered more cases of coronavirus than any country outside China while its death toll has risen to 366.
