Denials of the coronavirus epidemic were demonstrated on Saturday in the historic center of Rome against precautions to prevent the spread of the infection, writes the MTI. Thousands of people marched through the streets, but none were wearing masks, and despite the demonstrations, the number of infected has been rising steadily for five weeks. From Friday to Saturday, another 1,700 people were confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus.
