Italy should not be treated as a leper colony as countries consider how to restore international travel during the health crisis, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said Saturday, Politico reports.
Countries around Europe are cautiously considering their approach to summer travel in an effort to rebuild their tourism industries while preventing any new outbreaks of the coronavirus.
Italians are somehow treated as different European citizens, mainly due to the effect of the outbreak on the country.
Writing on Facebook, Di Maio said “If anyone thinks they can treat us like a leper colony, then they should know that we will not stand for it,” Di Maio wrote on Facebook, in reference to the isolated places historically used to quarantine the diseased.
