Italy, looking to lift lockdown starting May 4,
considers advice from scientists, economists and psychiatrists
ROME Italy in the coming days is expected to map out the specifics of how it might emerge from the West's longest lockdown, and it is considering measures that would fundamentally alter how people commute, work, vacation and think about their privacy.
Though many countries across Europe are trying to gradually reopen for business, the path in Italy is particularly perilous. There is uncertainty, even now, about how widely the novel coronavirus has spread among the population. And while some nations averted the worst-case scenario, in Italy the virus arrived with the force of a historic crisis, leaving the country to contend not just with economic pain but also with a sharp sense of loss, mourning and fear.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Italys emergence from lockdown what he has called Phase II is likely to begin May 4. Conte wrote in a Facebook post that although he wished he could just reopen everything, doing so would be irresponsible.
He called for a serious, scientific program.
