Giuseppe Conte states the EU needs to act in a sufficient and co-ordinated way to assist countries worst hit by the infection.

This was his first interview with the UK broadcast media given that the pandemic blew up in Italy seven weeks earlier.

The Italian prime minister told the BBC that Europe’s leaders were “facing an appointment with history” that they could not miss.

The death toll too reveals signs of falling, from 919 a fortnight ago to 542 deaths in the past 24 hours. However Giuseppe Conte warned Italy not to reduce its guard and stated that the nationwide lockdown, imposed on 9 March, might just be relieved slowly.

” We need to pick sectors that can restart their activity. If scientists confirm it, we might begin to relax some steps already by the end of this month.”
