Belcastro , Italy , has banned its residents from becoming seriously ill.

Locals are ordered to avoid contracting any illness that may require emergency medical assistance.

The nearest Accident & Emergency ( A&E ) department is over 45km ( 28 miles ) away from the village's on-call doctor surgery.

Mayor Antonio Torchia said the move was "a humorous provocation" to highlight shortcomings of the local healthcare system.
