Italy is expected to learn this Friday (10) about a new decree that promises to contain a small and cautious relaxation in the restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Covid 19.
The press conference called by Giuseppe Conte, Prime Minister of Italy, is scheduled for 14 pm (9 am Brasília time).
Among the measures, the Italian government must authorize, from April 14th, the opening of stationery stores, bookstores, companies that manufacture agricultural machinery, baby clothing stores, among others.
For other services and commerce companies, the scheduled opening date is May 3rd. That is if everything goes well in Italy and the contagion rate drops to acceptable levels.
The Italian government intends to divide the population into two groups. Release those who are not in the risk group and who make the economy spin, and limit the movement of the elderly and people at greater risk of contagion.

According to the latest bulletin released by Civil Protection, the situation in Italy is stable.
