MILAN - An outbreak of coronavirus in northern Italy worsened on Friday, with officials announcing 14 confirmed cases in the wealthy region of Lombardy and two in the adjacent region of Veneto.
“We had prepared a plan in recent days, because it was clear what has happened could somehow happen,” Health Minister Roberto Speranza told reporters as doctors tested hundreds of people who might have come into contact with the coronavirus sufferers. The pregnant wife of the initial patient and one of his friends were infected, along with three others admitted to hospital overnight suffering from pneumonia-like symptoms.
“Diplomatic and economic issues are fundamental but health comes first,” Health Minister Speranza said on Friday as he announced the government’s latest measures. “Most of the contacts of those who tested positive for coronavirus have been identified and subjected to the necessary tests and measures,” the Lombardy region said in a statement early on Friday before the eight new cases were announced.
