Two 5-Star Movement (M5S) Senators
have tested positive for COVID-19, sources said Wednesday.
In accordance with coronavirus protocols, all the M5S members in
the Upper House are having swabs for COVID-19.
Senate work was suspended as a precautionary measure.
One of the infected Senators, Francesco Mollame, told ANSA he
was in isolation in Sicily.
He said he had "the classic symptoms ranging from a 39 degree f
ever and trouble breathing and speaking.
"I could be better and that's not a quip in this case".
He said he had not taken part in the last M5S MP meeting, not
even by video conference, because he already had a fever.
