Premier Giuseppe Conte has
called for national unity in the battle to contain the
coronavirus in an interview published in Wednesday's Corriere
della Sera.
"Now is not the time for rows and those who seek popularity
by feeding fears are not pursuing the national interest," he
said after 11 people with the coronavirus died in Italy, with
over 300 infected.
The premier said the government had taken drastic measures to
seek to stop the deadly virus and he announced that it would
approve a package of structural measures to help the sectors of
the economy worst-hit by the epidemic, such as tourism.
