Restaurants and bars are allowed to open from 6:00am to 6:00pm but customers must remain at least one metre apart.

Church services, including funerals and weddings, are suspended. Pope Francis will deliver prayers via live-streaming from inside the Vatican.

The number of infections worldwide is now more than 107,000, with about 3,600 deaths.
