The government has prepared a plan
to increase the places in Italy's intensive care units by 50%
and places in pneumology and infective-disease departments by
100%, sources said on Wednesday.
The government is also set to make it possible for health
professionals to be drafted into the areas most badly affected
by the coronavirus outbreak from other parts of the country to
ensure the necessary care is provided.
Furthermore, the Premier Giuseppe Conte's executive on
Thursday is set to ask to breach the EU's budget deficit
threshold by 3.6 billion euros to be able to tackle the
emergency.
