Coronavirus Pandemic – Italy

epa08305764 The column of military trucks loaded with coffins leaves Bergamo, Italy, 19 March 2020. An impressive column of military vehicles has crossed the heart of Bergamo tonight, from the monumental cemetery to the highway, with a border of coffin of the coronavirus dead that the Bergamo cemetery can no longer manage due to the surge: the expectations for the existing cremations now passed the week. The coffin, placed on about thirty army trucks, are about seventy and are directed to a dozen investments throughout Italy. Italy is under lockdown in an attempt to stop the wide spread of Coronavirus. Italy now has more than 30,000 coronavirus cases. EPA-EFE/FABIO CONTI
