In a desperate attempt to stop his small town from vanishing due to depopulation, an Italian mayor has officially banned his citizens from getting sick.
“It is forbidden to get sick in the town,” a decree signed by Davide Zicchinella, mayor of Sellia in southern Italy’s Calabria region, said, according to local media.
The medieval town’s population decreased from 1,300 to 537 over the past fifty years, with more than two thirds of its residents being more than 65 years old.
Zicchinella, who is a doctor by profession, plans to save his town from disappearing by motivating the people to “put your health first and look after your nearest and dearest.”
The legislation also urges the citizens to visit a newly-opened municipal medical center to undergo tests. Full story...
