Italy’s partial lockdown isn’t stopping these big businesses

CNN  

London CNN Business — Some major Italian companies caught up in a sweeping coronavirus quarantine are insisting it’s “business as usual,” despite restrictions designed to contain Europe’s biggest outbreak. The quarantine, which initially included the Lombardy region, home to the nation’s financial capital Milan, as well as 14 other provinces, was extended late Monday to include the entire country. Borsa Italiana, owned by the London Stock Exchange Group, said it was “operating normally” and has “robust business continuity arrangements in place” to ensure that markets can continue to function. A spokesperson for Italian eyewear conglomerate, Luxottica, which is headquartered in Milan and makes Ray-Ban and Oakley, said all its sites in the region are “up and running.” Similarly, supermarket chain Esselunga, which has offices on the outskirts of Milan, said operations are running in “business as usual” mode.
