Italy's vaccine starts testing

The study of the first phase of the vaccine is also under way in Spallanzan in Rome, as well as at the Pascal Institute in Naples, following Aifa's authorization and the Spallanzan Ethics Committee.

Meanwhile, many regions in Italy are changing color, with Lombardine, Marche, and Piedmont in orange and Baslicata and Molise, red.

Health Minister Roberto Spranza has warned that the coming weeks will not be easy, since the infection curve is increasing significantly.

The infection curve is increasing significantly and we still have to fight. The next week will not be easy: it is the task of politics and institutions to tell the truth. We'll still have to ask citizens for rigorousity, respect, attention to the rules. This virus is subtle and complex. We should feel the sense of a collective challenge”, he stressed. /Periscope
