(ANSA) - Milan, May 5 - The coronavirus infection rate in
Lombardy has dropped below that of Italy as a whole, at 0.75
compared to 0.80, Deputy Governor Fabrizio Sala said Tuesday.
Lombardy is Italy's hardest-hit region with about half of the
nearly 30,000 total deaths from the virus.
"It's important to remain below 1," Sala said.
"That is the task of all of us and of all the citizens".
