1 IMPACT ON DAILY LIFE: EU MEMBER STATES’ MEASURES TO ADDRESS THE OUTBREAK  ROME, ITALY 10 MARCH 2020 A city police officer wearing a face mask walks across the deserted Trevi Fountain square, Rome, Italy. On that day, the Italian government implemented measures including travel and gathering bans, limited opening hours for shops and venues, and emergency health measures to fight the coronavirus pandemic. This section presents some of the most common measures EU Member States implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in key areas of life and looks at their potential impact on fundamental rights, namely: — physical and social distancing measures; — disruption to education; — disruption to work; — restrictions on freedom of movement within and into the EU. It shows how these restrictions are having a profound impact on fundamental rights relating to freedom of movement, education and employment. Moreover, some measures may affect particular groups, for example children and people living in or at risk of poverty, raising questions concerning equal treatment. But FRA evidence also points to concerted efforts by governments and other actors to mitigate the impact on fundamental rights, particularly in the areas of education and work. 15
