Group outings are not allowed, and people should keep a distance of at least 1 meter from each other when they leave their homes for good reason. Neither of these rules was followed in Milan, so the mayor broke out.
Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan: “Yesterday’s images of the Navigli area are scandalous. Either things change today, not tomorrow, today! And this is not a warning, it is an ultimatum! Or, if the situation does not change, tomorrow I will be at the Palazzo Marino (at the town hall) and I will take action. I will immediately close the Navigli area as well as the bars that are there. And then explain to the owners why the mayor no longer allows them to sell. You explain them!
The head of the infectious diseases department at the prestigious Milanese hospital, Sacco, is also sounding the alarm. He called the situation in Milan one “Explosive” and he said if people continue to take to the streets in large numbers, “The COVID-19 viral bomb is ready to explode at any time.”
Northern Italy is just beginning the relaxation period, but people seem impatient and barely accept the rules. Employees of an electrical appliance factory in Veneto went on strike, angry that they are forced to wear masks all the time.
UPDATE 8:30 – The Spanish authorities have begun to relax the measures.
In Spain, sunrise caught many of Barcelona’s residents on the beach. The authorities finally gave the green light to the reopening, so everyone made the most of it. Some jogged, and the bravest dared to row or swim.
Spanish: “I think it’s great that we can finally come to swim again. The authorities have made a very good decision.”
Spanish: “I think the situation here was different from that of other regions in Spain, because the number of cases was very high and it is understandable that the authorities have imposed tougher measures.” But now things are relaxing step by step. “
On the other hand, the head of the Spanish public health service, Yolanda Fuentes, resigned in protest because the isolation measures in the capital will be gradually eliminated as of Monday.

Theoretically, the virus would fall into the country’s territory and eventually disappear entirely. That’s the way it should be, theoretically. That’s why we expect the prime minister to announce a review of quarantine measures when he addresses the nation on Sunday, especially as economic pressure increases. “
UPDATE 8:10 – Israel, among the countries with the lowest mortality rate caused by Covid-19
With 240 deaths in nearly 16,500 cases, Israel is among the countries with the lowest COVID-19 death rate, around 1.5%.
