Italy Begins to Reopen after Its COVID Lockdown; Was 1st Country to Pass China's COVID Death Toll

Italy recorded some of its lowest coronavirus infection rates and began to significantly ease its lockdown today (May 18, 2020), according to the Yahoo News website.

Italy, which in March became the first country in the world to surpass China's death toll, recorded 145 coronavirus deaths in the past 24 hours -- the lowest since the lockdown began.

The decline in the infection rate means that, from today, a significant restart to Italian life has kicked in.

Shops, salons, and restaurants have all begun to reopen to customers, as long as they can find a way to comply with social distancing measures, and, for the first time since the lockdown began, Italians will again be able to drink an espresso at a counter in a bar.
