Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts were hoping to see a better start of the week, but it seems that things get worse with each passing day.
The market is down, and the crypto market is seeing the same negative impact. The main reason is the increasing panic that’s created worldwide about the spread of the new coronavirus.
For instance, in Italy, chaos is surging as the leaked official plans to quarantine 16 million people reached the press.
DualDove writes that the whole of Lombardy, which includes Milan and 14 provinces across the worst-affected northern regions, had been shut down until April 3 as Italy is struggling to contain the spread of the virus.

At the moment of writing this article, 7,375 people have been affected in Italy by the virus.
Thousands of people jumped into their cars or crowded train stations after a draft decree that’s banning people from leaving or entering the region was revealed by Corriere Della Sera late on Saturday afternoon.
Another Bitcoin correction left the price of Bitcoin trading at around $8,500 the other day, but it seems that now, prices are going even lower.
