Researchers at Milan's Sacco
Hospital have isolated the Italian strain of the coronavirus,
they told ANSA Thursday.
Professor Massimo Galli, head of the biomedical science
institute, said the strain had been isolated by a team led by
Professor Claudia Balotta.
The team includes researchers Alessia Loi, Annalisa
Bergna and Arianna Gabrieli, all three on short term contracts,
together with their Polish colleague Maciej Tarkowski and
Professor Gianguglielmo Zehender.
Galli said they had worked non stop since Sunday.
