Lockdown controls stepped up at Easter

(ANSA) - Rome, April 9 - The interior ministry on Thursday sent a directive to prefects to beef up coronavirus lockdown controls over Easter.
    As data have shown the first signs of effectiveness of containment measures, it said, it is important that these measures "should be fully operational in view of the upcoming Easter festivities, traditionally marked by an increase in traffic flows, in particular on motorways and on the main connecting extra-urban arteries of our country".
