(ANSA) - Milan, February 24 - Lombardy's Welfare Councilor
Giulio Gallera on Monday warned the population living in areas
in the northern Italian region affected by the outbreak of the
novel coronavirus not to open their doors because there are
looters dressed like Red Cross personnel.
"In the red area" affected by the spread of the virus "there
have been people dressed with the Red Cross uniform who show up
to do screening" tests, he said.
"They are looters who walk into people's homes, there are no
Red Cross volunteers or other who have been dispatched for
screenings", explained Gallera, urging the population "not to
let anyone in if you have not requested beforehand the dispatch
of ATS (Alto Trevigiano Servizi) personnel for exams".
