A 2.6-magnitude earthquake has rocked Italy, 2 km to the north of Camaiore, Tuscany, the National Institute of Volcanology and Geophysics said.
The quake was registered at a depth of 8 km, and its epicenter was located not far from the town of Massa in Tuscany, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre said. This comes amid the ongoing outbreak of the new coronavirus in the country, with the number of infected people there currently estimated at 9,172 and 463 deaths.Earlier on Tuesday, Italy’s agricultural association announced that the government’s ban on movement across the country, which is aimed at curbing the spread of the COVID-19 disease, would not cause shortages of food and basic necessities.
All travel between regions and inside them is banned unless it is necessary for work, health or other serious purposes.
