Shortly after the press conference, Lazio Region Health Commissioner Alessio D'Amato also said that the same measures will be taken at Rome Fiumicino Airport and flights from China will be tested for the new coronavirus. Passengers who test positive will be placed in centralized quarantine. The quarantine location will not be a hotel because the COVID-19 emergency has ended and there are no COVID-19 quarantine hotels, so COVID-19 infected people from China will be quarantined in temporary medical facilities.
