Candles burn March 21, 2020, before an altar dedicated to Our Lady of Good Remedy in Rome's Church of San Crisogono. The Italian Ministry of Internal Affairs said March 28 that while churches may stay open for private prayer during the COVID-19 lockdown, people can go into a church only if it is on their way to or from a government-accepted reason to be outside their home.
