Italy has suffered collectively in the coronavirus pandemic.
Now an entire country is taking the Covid-19 protective measures to heart - with resounding success against Corona.
Coronavirus pandemic
*
:
Italy
has
Corona
*
largely under control in the middle of the holiday season.
The
Covid-19
*
numbers rose less than elsewhere - then the
new corona infections even
stagnated
.
In
Italy
the citizens heed the
mask duty
very much and carry many places their
face masks
.
Munich / Rome / Bardolino - The pictures were
burned into the collective memory of many people
during the
corona pandemic

Bergamo
.
It is cited as one reason why no one is more
uncompromising and more disciplined than the Italians
when it
comes to coronavirus
.
Because: While the
corona numbers
are shooting up again
in other countries in Europe
, the daily
Covid-19 infections in Italy are
constant.
Corona in Italy: Uncompromising because of Covid-19
According to Johns Hopkins University, these were recently consistently below 1000 and thus also significantly below the values in Germany (1300 to 1500).
A comparison:
According to the same source,
the number of new
corona cases
in Spain is
over 7,000
every day
.
An example of the uncompromising attitude in Italy: Diego Frederici
lost
both parents to
Corona
in March
.
“We don't even know if it's them in the cemetery.
We weren't allowed to identify their bodies.
They didn't allow us, ”the young Italian man told ZDF in a report.

He is a member of a Facebook group that is protesting.
Her name: "Noi Denunceremo - We accuse".
Noteworthy: The
Facebook group
has lodged a complaint with the public prosecutor.
But not because of the
corona restrictions
.
They believe that a curfew should have been imposed much earlier - while elsewhere in Europe, thousands of people take to the streets to protest against
Covid-19 protection measures
.
For example in Berlin.
Corona in Italy: people everywhere wear face masks
Italy
is marked and has clearly learned from the lessons of spring, wants to avoid a new corona wave at all costs.
Fever measurements and wearing a
face mask
are
compulsory
even in
Bergamo's
central cemetery
, according to
ZDF
.
Where they buried many of their dead.
The report also shows that.
Clubs and beach bars, on the other hand, had to close again in mid-August after a corona outbreak occurred in a discotheque in Sardinia.
And from 6 p.m. in the evening, it is
mandatory to wear a mask
wherever there are many people
- nationwide.
It is a requirement that most citizens dutifully comply with.
In France, however, the mask requirement only applies in individual cities such as Nice, in Austria it is
currently not required at all
in the
Corona crisis

Italy: Corona prevention takes precedence over tourism
The
Covid-19 prevention
goes so far that residents of the small Italian holiday island of
Stromboli
have demonstrated a limitation of tourism.
“We don't want to chase away tourists.
But we want their numbers to be regulated, ”said the co-organizer of a recent protest.
Around 150 residents and long-term holidaymakers gathered there on August 25 to demonstrate against an "invasion" of the island by day tourists.
Italy has long been the
corona hotspot
.
Citizens and politicians seem to have learned - and with success.
