Italy has become a Coronavirus Hotspot and the country has since gone on lockdown as the Italian government looks to curb its spread.

Currently the Italian league, Serie A has been suspended until April 3 although this seems unlikely as new cases of the virus keep emerging.

Sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora seemed to suggest that play could return at the beginning of May.

High profile individuals have not been spared from the Coronavirus scourge, with Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta also testing positive for Coronavirus.

Esteemed actors Idris Elba, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson also revealed that they tested positive for Coronavirus as well.
