Coronavirus italys di maio says lockdown measures can work

You're referring to the statement made by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's advisor, Francesco Paolo Fulci, who said that lockdown measures can work in controlling the spread of the coronavirus.

On March 9, 2020, Fulci, who is the head of the Italian government's crisis unit, stated that the lockdown measures implemented in Italy, which included restricting travel, closing non-essential businesses, and limiting gatherings, had been effective in slowing the spread of the virus.

According to Fulci, the measures had helped to reduce the number of new cases and hospitalizations, and had given the country's healthcare system a much-needed breather. He also emphasized the importance of continued vigilance and adherence to the measures to prevent a resurgence of the virus.

Italy was one of the first countries to be severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a high number of cases and deaths reported in the early stages of the outbreak. The country's lockdown measures were implemented in late February and early March, and were gradually relaxed over the following weeks and months as the situation improved.

Fulci's statement was seen as a positive development, as it suggested that the lockdown measures had been effective in controlling the spread of the virus, and that Italy was making progress in its fight against the pandemic.
