ITALY MAYOR FLYING DAUGHTERS HOME FROM 'UNSAFE' UK AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte extended the lockdown to apply to the entire country on March 10 and has been periodically rolling out stricter measures to halt public life, most recently closing all non-essential businesses in the country.
De Luca estimated 20 percent of the 5.8 million people in Campania have defied federal lockdown measures. The governor announced his own restrictions, banning all outside exercise and threatening anyone caught outdoors for non-essential trips to grocery stores or the pharmacy would be forced to self-isolate for two weeks, The Journal reported.

In a livid video address to defiant students who were reportedly planning graduation parties, de Luca said: “We’ll send the police with flamethrowers.”
The city of Bergamo, located southeast of Milan, is currently the worst-hit by the virus, with the Italian military sending trucks to transport bodies out of the city’s crematorium and morgues overwhelmed by the sudden surge in deaths.
The Italian army’s Alpini mountaineering forces are building a field hospital in Bergamo to be staffed, in part, by some of the 150 medical personnel sent by Russia, one of only a handful of countries along with China and Cuba to respond to Italy’s urgent appeal for medical equipment, protective masks, and personnel, the Associated Press reported.

But the need is also growing in the south, where hospitals are even less prepared and equipped than the prosperous north. In one week, Apulia went from 478 cases to 1,182, with a doubling of ICU patients, according to the AP. Campania also doubled its caseload to 1,310 and tripled the number of people in ICUs.
Hospitals in Apulia are acting in advance to contain the virus, as they anticipate a surge in cases. Ten of the 57 local hospitals have been designated solely for COVID-19 patients. The region also added 106 new intensive care unit beds and 237 sub-intensive care places, which offer specialized treatment but without intubation on ventilators, the Journal reported.

Meanwhile, police were deployed to major supermarkets in the city of Palermo in Sicily amid reports people were trying to loot for groceries, prompting the Italian government to announce Saturday it would finance food vouchers for needy families.
Casino De Luca, mayor of the Sicilian city of Messina, took the extraordinary step of recording a warning to residents in his nasal, gravelly voice for drones to play as they fly over the seaside city monitoring residents’ movements, the AP reported.
“Don’t go outside! That is an order from Mayor De Luca!” the drone blasts.
Italy reached a new grave milestone Saturday night, reporting a total of more than 10,000 deaths from the coronavirus throughout the country. The number of confirmed cases reached more than 92,000 as of Sunday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The president of Italy’s National Institutes of Health, Dr. Silvio Brusaferro, said Friday that Italy hadn’t yet reached the peak of its infection curve or begun to see a decline. But he said: “What we have are signs of a slowing that makes us think that we are close.”
