Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said yesterday evening that his government has decided to extend public isolation measures across the country to contain the Corona virus until May 3, although few stores will be allowed to re-open their doors from April 14.
Conte said at a press conference, "This is a difficult decision, but it is necessary and I bear full political responsibility for it."
It is noteworthy that strict restrictions were imposed on the movement and the closure was imposed on most stores and companies across Italy on the ninth of March, and that was scheduled to end next Monday.
Containing the extension would be the sale of books, the sale of stationery and the stores selling children’s clothing, and she could reopen on April 14, Conte said.
