Russian cargo planes are loaded with medical equipment to be sent to Italy at a military airdrome in Moscow region, Russia, March 22, 2020.The Italian government, rattled by a string of record daily COVID-19 fatalities, announced another clampdown that will shut almost all industrial activity in Europe’s third-biggest economy.
Mr. Conte’s latest decree amounts to a total shutdown of the economy, sparing only supermarkets, pharmacies, post offices, banking services and scaled-back public transportation. “Stay home, we don’t have a choice,” he said in a televised address. Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper and RAI, the national broadcaster, on the weekend said that the Czech Republic customs officers had “arbitrarily seized” an enormous shipment of medical equipment, including pulmonary ventilators and almost 700,000 face masks, that were destined for Italy. China has sent medics to Italy and had also agreed to deliver ventilators and other equipment for the overwhelmed northern hospitals.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez declared a national “state of alarm” a week ago and implemented an Italian-style shutdown that has, so far, failed to slow the alarming rise in cases. On Sunday, Spain recorded 375 new deaths, taking the total to 1,756. The number of new cases leaped by more than 3,100 over Saturday, taking the total to 28,603, putting Spain fourth in the world, behind China, Italy and the United States.
From Russia with love.
All countries should be united and help each other out, especially rich countries like USA and Canada!
Good idea.
Good for them
Grazie
