Italian Prime Minister gave a message to his countrymen, said be prepared for a very long lockdown

Rome. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s government has asked the Italians to be prepared for a long lockdown. On Sunday, the government said that the bandh will be lifted gradually, despite the financial difficulties and the disturbing effect on the regular routine. The message from ministers and health officials came at a time when the outbreak of infection in Italy seems to be decreasing.

The latest figure for one day of deaths in Italy due to this infection is 756, down from 969 on Friday. Here the rate of corona virus infection has come down and for the first time it has come down by six percent. However, the government’s full focus is on April 3, the last date for the end of the lockdown.

Regional Affairs Minister Francescobo told Italy’s Sky TG24 television that the date of the bandh would be extended even after April 3. I believe it is unfair and irresponsible to talk about ending the lockdown at this time.

Almost all types of business activities in Italy are closed due to the outbreak of the epidemic. Deputy Finance Minister Laura Castelli said the initial rescue package of 25 billion may need to be quadrupled. He said that I think at least 100 billion euros may be needed. So far 10,779 people have died due to Corona virus infection in Italy.
