@DPCgov Dr Borrelli, @DPCgov: data of tests vs positives confirms @WHO data and that 4 of 5 people do not require hospital care.
No particular critical issues, not even in the Red Zone.

@DPCgov@WHO Questions from audience about number of tests: Dr Borrelli @DPCgov cannot provide right now the number as of today 18:00, Italian time.
@DPCgov@WHO Question from audience about children having tested positive: Dr Borrelli does not have information, but has asked for clarification. Minutes earlier he had warned against fake news and thanked all the people who disseminate info directly from official authtiorities like @DPCgov
@DPCgov@WHO Question from audience about Liguria being a new outbreak: Dr Borrelli says cases in Liguria are linked amongst them (individuals from same group), so, no, he doesn't think it is a new outbreak
@DPCgov@WHO Question from audience about link between cases Lombardia (Bergamo) and Sicilia: Dr Borrelli @DPCgov hopes the epidemiology experts @MinisteroSalute will give an answer soon
@DPCgov@WHO@MinisteroSalute As always, I listen to press conferences from Italian authorities, mainly @DPCgov, as they happened (or as close to when, as I can) and report the info in English. It is my own translation Ita>Eng. I am Italian and have been studying+working as virologist in UK >15 years.
