Couple arrested for having sex inside car despite coronavirus quarantine rules

A couple has been arrested by authorities in Italy for breaching coronavirus quarantine rules after they were caught having sex inside a car.

The couple, a 23-year-old Egyptian man and a 40-year-old Tunisian woman were caught in the act by a police officer on the outskirts of Milan on Monday.

Police say the roadside fling happened on a road in Mecenate near Milan which has been heavily hit by the coronavirus outbreak.

According to news agency ANSA, the pair were accused of ignoring a quarantine rule which bans two people from being in the front or back of a vehicle together.

It wasn’t revealed if the couple will face further action, but Italian authorities are keeping an eye on all road vehicles in order to enforce a ban on travel.

Italy currently has 31,506 cases of coronavirus with 2,503 deaths.
