Possible end of isolation measures

Conte does not rule out accelerating the end of measures to contain the spread of the new coronavirus in some regions of Italy, where the contagion curve is more controlled.

“If the epidemiological level and the situation remain under control, we can move forward with the faster reopening of some regions. The important thing is to act based on continuous control, because we would pay enormous costs if we committed imprudence”, highlighted the Prime Minister.
