Rome CNN  —  The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has issued an unusual proclamation: “Getting sick is prohibited.” Residents of Belcastro in the southern region of Calabria have been “ordered to avoid contracting any illness that requires medical assistance, especially an emergency,” a decree from Mayor Antonio Torchia stated. Torchia told local television that while “we take (the decree) with a bit of irony,” it is intended to highlight the town’s inadequate access to healthcare.
