Foreign Minister Luigi DI Maio said
Tuesday that China was set to send specialist doctors to help
Italy tackle the coronavirus emergency.
It was emerged earlier on Tuesday that over two million face
masks and some 10,000 pulmonary ventilators are set to reach
Italy from China under contracts about to be signed, after a
phone call between Di Maio and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi
Tuesday.
Di Maio told RAI television on Tuesday that "specialist
doctors who faced the first peak of the coronavirus" would come
from China along with the masks and ventilators.
"Our doctors don't need anyone to teach them their job, but
the Chinese doctors were the first (to treat the virus) and they
can bring their experience," he said.
