ITALY RECORDS FEWEST NEW CORONAVIRUS CASES IN A MONTH
Under the lockdown, Italian authorities have deemed walking a dog a justifiable reason to leave the house, but walking a turtle is apparently not acceptable. Jogging or bicycling has also been banned in the country that has faced 20,465 coronavirus deaths, second only to the U.S.
“The 60-year-old woman was caught outside her home without a justifiable reason" and fined, Roman police said, according to a statement.
"The woman was walking with a turtle," police added.
Roman police spokesman Nunzio Carbone told AFP the turtle was “as big as a pizza” but not wearing a leash.
Pet owners across Europe have joked about renting out their dogs to those looking for an acceptable excuse to break quarantine.
