Italy will start reopening its manufacturing industry on May 4 as part of plans to ease its coronavirus lockdown, and schools will reopen in September, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said in a newspaper interview on Sunday.

“We are working in these hours to allow the reopening of a good part of businesses from manufacturing to construction for May 4,” Conte told Italian daily La Repubblica.Italy was the first European country to be hard-hit by the novel coronavirus, and the first to impose a lockdown in March. Its path to reopening its economy is being closely watched around the world as other countries where severe outbreaks arrived in the following week contemplate similar moves.

Conte said companies would have to introduce strict health safety measures before being allowed to open their gates. But he said some businesses considered “strategic”, including activity that was mainly export-oriented, could reopen next week providing they got the go ahead from local prefects. Conte said schools would reopen in September but added studies showed the risk of contagion was very high. Teaching remotely was working well, he said.

This is what is being considered- it’s not definitely happening 🤷🏽‍♀️ we have to wait for the proposal this week

Good luck, Italy 🇮🇹! We all will have to reopen at some point! Stand as a positive role model for the US and our eventual reopening, as well! 🇺🇸

You have to open up in a safe manner, let the opening be voluntary. this is ww3 China vs the rest of the world. Show the Chinese they can't win.

Covid-19 2.8 mil infections 800 000 guerisons Que nous cache t-on...?

So pleased for all my Italian friends Italy

RediTlhabi I see Covid-19 the return part2

Some hope!!!

It is about time! Post crises will confirm the evidence: Covid ability to inflict fatality numbers as promoted by “experts” was totally wrong. Covid behaves the same as any other virus. Accountability is in order for illicit power grab by government causing massive despair.

too late !! 🚵🚴🚳🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

Not being critical but how will that work, exactly? Schools don't re open til September, yet the parents who will now both be needed at work and at home will have to split themselves in two? Do they have a plan to assist these parents?

Be careful to return versus

All the best Italy 👍

Look at this like coronavirusitalIa does. No infection reported for one full week then you reopen. Considering the fact that a few infected people fucked up the entire state, we need to understand that mitigation until we have zero infections for days is essential!!

Amazing Checkout this

Good luck

Shakes magic 8 ball. Outlook not so good.

Stay home people. Don’t spend your money it’s not worth your life or anyone else’s life!

Infections going down means what? Zero infections? Do you not realize that a few people infected did all this? And infections heading south means you reopen? Infections are down to zero!!!

This virus have a role and a morale, that to let you understand (and not only hitaly) when the liars are covered and the lies discovered.

Even pm Conte is wearing masks tells you it's not safe to reopen. I understand because Italian economy was already battered but infections and death for money is not a deal worth exploring!! Remain in lockdown for a month.

I hope with reopening no more people dying because of virus

And when are they going to open their brains to not engage with CCP?or they want another wave of deadly viruses

greed before public safety ....
