The Pontifical Commission for
Sacred Archaeology said Wednesday that it was closing Italy's
catacombs that are open to the public due to the coronavirus
emergency.
It said the "precautionary move" was linked to the "special
conformation and nature of the catacombs, with high
concentrations of humidity, limited ventilation and closed
spaces".
Lazio, especially Rome, Campania, Sicily, Tuscany and
Sardinia have catacombs that are open to the public.
