Consob closed by Covid. The authority that oversees the financial markets will remain closed for a week at the Rome and Milan offices after its president, Paolo Savona, tested positive for coronavirus. The closure until Friday, September 18, was decided as a precaution to carry out sanitation operations. The institute announces that in any case full operation will be ensured. “I made this decision – explains the general director of Consob, Mauro Nori, in a letter sent to the employees – as a prudential and precautionary measure”.

Savona: I’m fine

President Savona, 83, is asymptomatic and currently in quarantine and works from home. “I’m fine, I’ll keep working remotely,” he said. His entire secretariat was swabbed and tested negative. Savona announced that “I had swabs as a precaution, I found out today” and that “I already had the serological test: I have also seen this.”
