Walter Ricciardi, a university
professor who is an advisor to the health ministry, said Monday
that "in just one month 27,000 doctors and nurses have been
infected (by COVID-19), 900 a day".
"At the moment the pressure on hospitals is terrible all over
Italy," Ricciardi told RAI television.
"If this pressure continues, it won't just make it impossible to
treat patients, it will also deplete the front line (in the
battle against the coronavirus).
"So it is absolutely necessary to limit movement as much as
possible and only do the things that are truly needed".
