Campania Governor Vncenzo De Luca
said Tuesday he had spoken to Interior Minister Luciana
Lamorgese and she had agreed to send 100 soldiers to the
southern region to help the anti-COVID battle.
He said they would be used to help control the territory and
enforce COVID rules.
De Luca voiced the hope that the civil protection department,
too, would give "adequate responses, effective and proportionate
to the needs we have highlighted".
De Luca said Tuesday that his region is set to follow Lombardy's
lead and impose a curfew from 11pm.
The southern region, like Lombardy, is among the worst hit by
the recent spike in coronavirus cases in Italy.
