Italian student in Wuhan: 'We test all closed at home'

Even the Italians who remained in Wuhan, the outbreak of the coronavirus, remain substantially closed at home. "The Chinese New Year has just started but there are no big news compared to yesterday", says an Abruzzese student, Lorenzo Di Berardino, in contact with ANSA for a couple of days, explaining that "the city is logically still blocked both in and out. And my colleagues and I are limiting exits as much as possible, "he adds, referring to the twenty compatriots who are in Wuhan. At the same time Di Berardino notes the "big news" of the last few hours, that is, the construction of a hospital that should be completed within a few days, in the intentions of the authorities: "A hospital entirely dedicated to the treatment of this new disease and equipped with all the cutting edge technologies. We'll see if it will be realized, if they succeed it would be a great thing because it would be the umpteenth countermeasure put in place by the Chinese authorities who are working day and night "to face the epidemic, Di Berardino underlines.
