Italian woman tells cops she broke quarantine to walk her turtle

People will come up with any excuseto break quarantine — even if it doesn’tmake any sense whatsoever.Case in point: Earlier this week,when a 60-year-old Italian womanwas confronted by the police about breaking quarantine.she told them that she was takingher turtle for a stroll, according toItalian newspaper Il Messaggero.Unsurprisingly, the policedidn’t find the woman’s justificationto be satisfactory.In accordance with Italy’s quarantinelaws, she was fined and sent home.Though the woman ultimately wasn’table to use her turtle as an excuse to get outof the house, people on Twitter are at leasttaking pleasure in her valiant effort.“Oh to be an Italian woman finedfor walking around with her turtleduring quarantine,” one person said.“Surely they couldn’t have travelled farfrom the house?” another user joked aboutthe turtle’s notoriously slow speed.All jokes aside, please respect thequarantine laws and do not try totake your turtle for a walk
