Lombardy Health Councilor Giulio
Gallera on Monday said the first confirmed case of coronavirus
in Italy, a 38-year-old man, is breathing on his own and has
been transferred from the intensive care to the sub intensive
care unit of the Parma hospital where he is being treated.
"'Patient 1' was moved from intensive to sub-intensive care",
Gallera said of the 38-year-old Unilever manager.
"He has been extubated and he is breathing autonomously".
The man's infected wife, who is eight-months pregnant, has
returned home after being treated at Milan's Sacco Hospital,
health authorities said.
