Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana
on Thursday said it was a "very beautiful day because numbers
are improving again today", referring to coronavirus cases.
"It is an extremely beautiful day, meteorologically, but also
extremely beautiful because the numbers are improving again
today", the governor said while he was waiting at Milan's Linate
airport for a military plane carrying 70 doctors who will be
working "for Brescia's hospitals".
The doctors were accompanied by Regional Affairs Minister
Francesco Boccia and Civil Protection Chief Angelo Borrelli.
Fontana said the civil protection in Lombardy has finished
handing over 3.5 million free masks, through provinces, to
pharmacies and newsstands.
Earlier on Thursday Lombardy Welfare Councilor Giulio Gallera
told the Radio Anch'io program of State broadcaster Rai Radio 1
that the epidemic has been "significantly slowing down" in the
region with "all indicators, including deaths, slowly
decreasing".
