Police officers check vehicles in Milan, Italy, Thursday, Dec. 24, 2020. Police were out in force Thursday imposing new COVID-19 travel restrictions aimed at preventing far-flung families from gathering for Christmas Eve dinner as public health officials appealed for common sense to protect the elderly from infection during the holidays. Italy went into a modified nationwide lockdown Thursday for the Christmas and New Year period, with restrictions on personal movement and commercial activity similar to the 10 weeks of hard lockdown Italy imposed from March to May when the country became the epicenter of the outbreak in Europe.
