Italy to reopen two airports in Rome, Florence

Italy announced it will reopen two airports over the next week. It's about Cyampino Airport in Rome and Peretolaine Florence, which have been closed because of the coronary pandemic since March 13th.

Airports will reopen on 4 May for passenger flights, the transport ministry said in a brief statement Thursday.

Ciampino is Rome's secondary airport and is mostly used by Ryanair and other low-cost carriers, while Peretola is the second largest airport in Toscana after Piza.

Both are international airports, although it was not immediately clear which airlines, if there were, would resume flights.

Officials have begun to ease isolation measures, which they have decided to prevent the spread of the new coronary.

Italy is one of the most hit countries in the world by Coronavirus.

On Thursday, authorities also announced 285 new deaths, bringing the total number of victims to 27.967. /Ora News.tv/
