Online videos and hotlines help refugees cope with Italy's coronavirus lockdown


Women carrying protective face masks on Ponte della Musica in Rome as Italy remains under a nationwide lockdown. Cambalache has suspended its normal operations, which include training refugees and asylum seekers on beekeeping, and turned to online lessons and webinars. But this is a challenge because the refugees do not have access to computers or good WiFi, Leccardi said. — Reuters

ROME: Against a dark blue background, white text interspersed with illustrations of a washing machine, a gas pump and a cigarette explains where people can shop during Italy's unprecedented coronavirus lockdown.

At the bottom is a hashtag — #NONSEISOLO, which means "You are not alone", the title of a campaign to help refugees and migrants navigate Italy's efforts to contain the contagion, which has so far killed nearly 3,000 people in the country.
