Caution around Naples because of coronavirus
Checkpoints in Naples

The coronavirus' emergence in Italy has caused some concern all over the country.

More than 200 cases have already been diagnosed, and seven deaths have already been confirmed because of the illness, but for the most part things appear to be localised in the north of the country.

Campania and Naples are some way away from the affected areas, though some masks have started to make an appearance around the city and people are beginning to talk.

The Italian government have put medical checks on at the airports, with those arriving having their temperatures checked in an attempt to prevent its real outburst.

Measures like that had already been taken before its arrival on the peninsula.

Italy's minister of health has also seen that brochures have been distributed around the country, advising people to be attentive for around two weeks.

Those suffering from a dry cough, fever, sore throat and respiratory problems are being given attention, and anyone suffering from those symptoms can call a toll-free number to receive directions.

Additionally, people are being advised to wear masks and to regularly wash their hands. All of these measures are being taken in order to control the spread, which isn't easy.

Even the Barcelona players have been told to adhere by these instructions, although they aren't seen as having any real risk of contracting the virus.

There are no plans to postpone the game in Naples, but attention will have to be paid to the 55,000 attending the game.

Not many people are wearing masks in Campania, other than those at the airport.
