“If this is confirmed, we need to start thinking about the second phase and keep down the spread of this disease.” “Don’t lower our guard, stay at home,” Angelo Borelli, head of the Civil Protection department, told a daily briefing. “There are difficult months ahead. Our task is to create the conditions to live with the virus,” at least until a vaccine is developed, he told the daily La Repubblica newspaper.
