The next few months will not be easy and everyone’s commitment will be needed”: Health Minister Roberto Speranza writes in a post after a “long discussion” with the health ministers of Germany, France , Great Britain, Spain and Holland. “The situation in Europe is serious and cannot be underestimated. The contagion figures have been growing steadily in recent weeks. Despite the positive judgment of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (Ecdc), which today has placed Italy among the low risk countries, I think we must keep our feet on the ground and continue to invest in the prudent line. “
