Life on lockdown: A mother in Italy's 'red zone' describes how her family is coping

A waitress wears a mask and gloves as she carries a tray at a cafe in the town of Codogn in northern Italy.Michelle Schoenung is a freelance writer and translator who has been living in Italy for two decades.

Schoenung does not expect her kids to go back to school until early to mid-April. Until then, they're working on assignments online and doing projects while she juggles her own work deadlines and faces uncertainty at what's to come. We weren't prepared for that first week of the kids being home. I had a very big deadline so I was able to have the kids spend some time during the day at their grandparents' house in a nearby town.

I questioned whether it was wise for the kids to spend time with theirwho are in a more vulnerable demographic, as people over age 65 were being asked to stay home.

As week three approached, all of Lombardy was declared a "red zone" and we were ordered to stay in our homes and only leave to buy essentials like groceries and medicine. The next day, the restrictions were extended throughout the entire country of Italy. I've stopped watching the news because it makes me feel helpless, but I know the current numbers are terrifying, and we are far from "hitting the peak" of all of this.
