Genoa, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, is famous for its port. The Italian city is known to be founded by a two-headed Roman diety, but it’s in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. An Italian lady used coronavirus as an excuse to dodge a red light violation ticket.
COVID-19 is not a joking matter in Italy as the death toll from the virus rises to 107.
Schools have now been closed for the next 10 days to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. 19 of Italy’s 20 regions have been affected and there is a state of panic among the natives.
To date, the total number of infected people in the country has increased to 3000.

While all of this is going on around the world, some businesses have taken advantage of the outbreak and have stocked masks to sell them for an unfair profit. A civilian in Italy, however, was not too shy to use it to her advantage either.
The 59-year-old Italian woman ran a red light on the weekend and was found driving without a license. When she was caught for breaking the highway code, she told police she’s been infected by the virus.
The police reacted quickly and called in the paramedic team, who confirmed that not only does she not have the virus, but she also doesn’t have the fever that she claimed was the reason behind her rashness.
