Lazio Health Chief Alessio D'Amato
said Friday that the region is launching a drive for blanket
testing of Rome's Bangladeshi community after several positive
coronavirus cases were registered in recent days.
Bangladeshi nationals are being called on to go to a drive-in
test centre in via Nicolo' Forteguerri, in southern Rome, for
swabs as of Monday.
The positive cases involving the community have led to the
closure of two outlets at Fiumicino, near Rome.
