Borelli pointed out at a press conference that the Italian government and people sincerely thank China, Russia, France and Germany and other international communities for their selfless support and assistance in the fight against the new crown pneumonia crisis. Thanks to the assistance of the international community, the pressure on Italy's lack of medical resources has been greatly relieved, and valuable time has been won for the victory of the epidemic.

Silvio Brusaferro, director of the Italian National Institute of Advanced Studies in Health, said that the number of new cases in the past two days has dropped by 1,868, indicating that the isolation policy has begun to bear fruit. As long as people continue to stay at home, as the number of new cases gradually decreases, the time for effective epidemic control will be greatly shortened.

Bruce Law emphasized that the current epidemic situation has been basically isolated in northern cities and towns. Whether the epidemic situation can be prevented from spreading to outside areas is the key to winning the national epidemic. And the implementation of measures to ban the movement of people in remote cities and towns will be the most important step in the next epidemic prevention work. (Boyuan)
