Eva Longoria stocks up on cloth and a dress form …after returning from Italy amid coronavirus

She is a woman of many skills.

And Eva Longoria was spotted stocking up on cloth and a dress form at a craft shop in the Valley this weekend.

The 45-year-old actress, producer and director was spotted emerging with her cart from Joann Fabric And Crafts in Sherman Oaks.

Sweeping her hair into a ponytail, the Desperate Housewives icon threw on a flowing cream tunic blouse and a pair of dull brown sweats.

Accessorizing with a cross-body bag and a pair of large black sunglasses, she rounded off her look with flats.

On February 20 Eva flew from Los Angeles to Rome to shoot a short film amid the coronavirus outbreak that has since put all of Italy under lockdown.

She was staying in Castel Gandolfo, a medieval town 25 kilometers away from the capital, and was pictured running through the woods while shooting a scene.

Near the end of February she assured her Instagram followers that she was all right since she was not in northern Italy, where the virus first became a major concern.

‘Hi everybody. I am shooting in this small town in Italy. I am nowhere near the North, thank you for your concerns,’ she said.

‘Everyone was calling and texting me about the coronavirus in the north of Italy. It’s really sad, but we’re further away.’ 

The first two cases of the virus in Italy were two Chinese tourists in Rome, the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported at the end of January.

An outbreak followed in Lombardy, the northern province where Milan is located, and five days ago Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte instituted a national quarantine.

Italy has the second most COVID-19 cases of any country other than mainland China, and the most in the world per capita.

U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a travel ban on continental Europe beginning Friday. On Monday, this stricture will extend to the UK and Ireland.
