Venice's quarantine and absence of traffic makes canals clear again.

The canals of Venice have become as clear as streams thanks to the absence of tourists and much-reduced traffic due to Italy's quarantine measures to tackle the Coronavirus outbreak.

The bottom of the canals can be now be seen, with fish clearly visible as they weave their way through the channels of the north Italian lagoon city.

The drastically-reduced movement of the city's vaporetti and other boats and cruise ships has allowed the sediment to settle at the bottom of the canals, making the usually murky water seem clear.
