Iran Press/Europe: The authorities have responded with travel restrictions in the north of Italy that is bound to hit the economy.
So far, a number of towns in Lombardy in northern Italy have been locked down, with very limited numbers of people being allowed in or out.
That matters, because northern Italy is the country's industrial powerhouse. Lombardy alone accounts for 40% of Italian industrial output. Milan is Italy's key center for finance and a range of other services.
