New Delhi: There may be restrictions on movement in any country or city. There may be restrictions on use of facilities. There may be restrictions on freedom of speech and action. But would you believe that there can be restrictions even if you are sick? Yes, even if it sounds like a joke to you, it is the truth. There is a ban in a city even if people fall ill. If you want to live in that city then you will have to protect yourself from getting sick. Actually, this order has been issued in Belcastro, a small town in Italy. The mayor of Belcastro has created a stir by making this strange announcement. According to the mayor’s order, falling ill is strictly prohibited here.

According to the order, getting sick is banned here. The people of the city will have to protect themselves from getting sick. Especially those diseases which require the help of a doctor. According to Mayor Torchia, ‘We are taking this order as a bit of a joke. But through this we want to draw attention to the poor condition of health services in the city.
ban on being sick
The population of this city is around 1300. In Belcastro town, which has a population of 1300 people, more than half of the people are elderly. The Mayor told that there is a health center here, but it often remains closed. At the same time, no doctor is available here for emergencies and at night on holidays. Nearby health centers are also closed. The nearest emergency room from here is in the city of Catanzaro, about 45 kilometers away.

what in the order
Meryar Torchia said that this order is not just to instigate people. This order is a cry for help. Through this order we want to draw attention to a situation which cannot be accepted.

In justification of this order, the Mayor also said that you should come and stay in our village for a week and see. Staying here you will realize yourself that if a medical emergency occurs, your only hope is to reach Catanzaro on time. Try this and then tell me whether this situation seems right to you.
where is this city
Actually, this beautiful city of Italy, Calabria, is one of the poorest cities in the country. The population here is very less. People are migrating from here. Especially the young generation is running towards cities. Because of this this area is becoming deserted. Only the elderly have survived here. In 2021, more than 75% of the 320 towns in Calabria had a population of less than 5,000. People fear that if there is no development here, these towns will become completely empty. Some towns have even started offering people money to live here.
