Coronavirus Outbreak: Italy may relax lockdown measures by April end if spread of COVID-19 continues to slow, says PM Giuseppe Conte

Rome: Italy may start gradually lifting some restrictions in place to contain the new coronavirus by the end of April, provided the spread of the disease continues to slow, prime minister Giuseppe Conte told the BBC on Thursday. [caption id=“attachment_4743961” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]File image of Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte. Reuters File image of Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte. Reuters[/caption] “We need to pick sectors that can restart their activity. If scientists confirm it, we might begin to relax some measures already by the end of this month,” Conte told the British broadcaster. Conte warned, however, that Italy could not lower its guard and restrictions would only be eased gradually. There were 542 deaths from COVID-19 in Italy on Wednesday, lower than the 604 the day before, taking the total death toll to 17,669. There were 3,693 people in intensive care, down from 3,792 on Tuesday, the fifth daily decline in a row. The decline has raised hopes the virus is on the retreat thanks to a nationwide lockdown, though the number of new cases rose 3,836, compared with 3,039 on Tuesday, to reach 139,422, the third highest globally behind the United States and Spain. Italy imposed the nationwide lockdown on 9 March. Two weeks later, Conte announced that non-essential businesses, including car, clothing and furniture manufacturing, would have to close.

Branches of employers lobby group Confindustria representing the northern regions of Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, which account for 45 percent of Italy’s economic output, called on the government on Wednesday to set out a “roadmap” for a return to work.
