(ANSA) - Milan, March 23 - Italian businesses will lose 100
billion euros a month after non-essential firms were shut down
amid the coronavirus emergency, industrial employers' group
Confindustria said Monday.
"If we close 70% (of firms) that means we'll lose 100 billion
every 30 days," said Confindustria chief Vincenzo Boccia.
He said that with the government's fresh clampdown the
economy was moving "from an economic emergency to a wartime
economy".
Boccia said he "honestly (didn't) understand a union threat
of a general strike to make factories even safer.
