Chilling no of deaths says Di Maio (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 1 - Italy has seen a chilling number of coronavirus deaths at over 12,000, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said Wednesday urging people to stay at home.
    Speaking after welcoming an aid flight from Turkey Di Maio said "Italy is a country with a chilling number of deaths, I'm thinking about Bergamo, Brescia and the other most-hit provinces.
    "Our thought go out to them at this moment of great difficulty, which can only be recompensed with hard work and by respecting the rules, stay at home".
    Di Maio said an ordinance allowing children outside for one walk per day with one parent "doesn't mean we should all start going out now".
    The decree has caused a row in Italy with regional governors arguing it raises risks of contagion and infection.
