Italy is about a week ahead of France when it comes to the coronavirus. Italy is the worst affected country in the world with 7,500 deaths as of March 25th.

I chatted with an Australian freelance journalist, Josephine McKenna, who has been living in Italy for 12 years, for her take on the scene.

While this is a podcast about Paris, I thought it would be informative and interesting to learn what we in France (and indeed what you around the world) might be in for.

Jo shared her tips for quarantine, a glimpse into life in Italian lockdown, and a few insights into regular life in Rome (which I admit I don't know much about).

Why not send some kind words to Jo on Instagram? Her account is: https://www.instagram.com/josephine.mckenna/
