(AP): Italy, today, registered 669 new cases of COVID-19, two-thirds of them in the northern region of Lombardy, which has been the hardest-hit since the outbreak began.
Officially, Italy has 32,735 deaths from COVID-19.
All of Italy’s regions, with the exception of Lombardy, registered no more than a few dozen new cases each on Saturday, and many regions had numbers of new infections in the single digits.
Eager to revive tourism, the government has said people will be allowed to resume travel between regions starting June 3, but travel restrictions could remain if there’s an up tick of infections.
Italy eased many stay-at-home restrictions on May 18, including allowing public masses to be held and restaurants and cafés to serve sit-down customers.
