In
Italy
there was again a peak in
new
corona
infections
.
Nevertheless, the
government's
measures
against the
pandemic are
apparently
making themselves
felt.
According to the
Italian Ministry of Health
, the
reproductive
value has fallen
from 1.7
to 1.4
, as the authority's expert, Giovanni Rezza, announced on Friday evening.
The R value shows how many people a
person infected
with the
coronavirus
infects on average.
Rezza sees this only as a
first signal for a decline
in transmissions.
However, this could be related to the previous measures.
However, he was
concerned
about the massive increase in the number of Covid 19 patients in
hospitals
and
intensive care units
.
"That justifies further restrictive measures," said Rezza.
Corona in Italy: Economist criticizes the government's crisis management

A South Tyrolean economist has sharply criticized
the Italian government's corona crisis management
.
“I understand the behavior of the political actors in March and April.
The situation was completely new.
I just wonder what exactly has been done in the last six months.
As far as the strategic tools are concerned, many countries are at the same point as in spring, ”said Christoph Kaserer from the Technical University of Munich to the daily newspaper
Dolomiten
.
As far as he is aware, promised financial aid for companies would only reach the applicants with a significant delay - Kaserer: "It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that it takes weeks, even months, to pay out subsidies."
The government of
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte
had
recently approved 5.4 billion euros in further economic aid
due to the
Corona crisis
.
The money for
Italy is
entirely new debt.

in a hospital toilet in

Why is it normal to die in this condition, put away like an empty sack? ", The daily
