Ancelotti revealed his fears for people in Italy in a phone call to Mark Cruise, a retired member of the police and Toffees supporter who suffers from Motor Neurone Disease.
The 60-year-old said: “No Everton games so what are we going to do? We have to stay at home and relax.
“I have friends in Italy, my sister is in Italy, and the situation is worse. It’s terrible.
“Here in England we have to take care and to avoid the expansion of the virus.”
Ancelotti has spent time during football’s suspension showing his human side by taking part in Everton’s Blue Family campaign where he contacts with isolated supporters.
The Toffees chief called up lifelong Blues fan Mark and told the supporter he hopes fans can return to Goodison Park soon.
