Some 18 Carabinieri police in
the coronavirus hotspot of Codogno in Lombardy have been
isolated at home as a precautionary measure.
The measure was taken after they took part in a convivial
meeting with a colleague who was retiring and who later tested
positive for the virus, sources said.
The meeting took place in their barracks on February 17.
The police reported the matter to authorities as soon as they
heard their colleague had tested positive.
