“I have signed a new decree banning people who have been in India for the last 14 days from entering Italy,” Speranca writes in his Facebook account. “We can’t lose vigilance.”
“Italians can return, but they have to be tested and quarantined before leaving and entering,” Speranca said.
At the same time, those who are already in Italy but have been in India for the last 14 days should contact the health authorities, Spreanca said.
In India, a new record number of coronavirus infections was registered on Sunday – almost 350,000 per day.
There have been 2,767 Covid-19 deaths in the last 24 hours, the highest number since the start of the pandemic, and the official death toll has reached 192,311.
In India, the number of infections for the fourth consecutive day exceeds 300,000, bringing the total number of infections to 16.9 million.
However, many experts predict that the current peak of the pandemic wave in India will not be reached for at least another three weeks. Experts also believe that the actual number of Covid-19 victims is much higher.
The government has organized special trains to deliver oxygen to the cities hardest hit by the pandemic.
The Air Force is also involved in transporting oxygen and other missing medical materials.
The authorities are also putting pressure on manufacturers to increase their production of oxygen and missing medicines.
Meanwhile, many patients in Delhi are dying in queues at hospitals due to bed rest and lack of oxygen.
