Covid-19, Speranza: "New ordinance and utmost caution, the priority is reopening our schools"

The Italian Minister of Health Roberto Speranza has signed a new ordinance providing as follows:

• suspension of dancing activities, both outdoor and indoor, taking place in discotheques and in any other location that is open to the public.
• obligation to wear masks also outdoors, from 6 pm to 6 am, in all places where there is a risk of gatherings.

"The numbers referring to the contagion in Italy, although among the lowest in Europe, are growing. We cannot undo the sacrifices we all made over the past few months. Our priority must be to reopen our schools in September, in complete safety," said the Minister.
