Coronavirus: Masks made mandatory outdoors across Italy

 

 Italy has made it mandatory to wear face masks in outdoor spaces across the country in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Italians must also wear masks indoors everywhere except in private homes. Although Covid-19 cases are much lower in Italy than in many other European countries, there has been a steady rise in infections.
Meanwhile, Germany reported a spike in its infection rate to more than 4,000 daily cases.
Although this figure is lower than in many European countries, it is Germany's highest number of cases in 24 hours since April. Testing has increased, however, so more cases are being recorded.
