Italy Uses Cannons to Disinfect Many Towns; Italians to End Lockdown,Start "New Normal"

Italian authorities are using snow cannons to disinfect entire towns in the Alps region of Italy ahead of the relaxation of lockdown measures, the Euro News website reports today (April 25, 2020).

Mounted on trucks, snow cannons -- usually used to cover ski slopes with snow -- are blasting tons of disinfectant.

Diluted hydrogen peroxide is being sprayed on roads, walls, and buildings in the town of  Val Gardena.

Italy currently has Europe's highest death toll from COVID-19, and is behind only the U.S. in global terms. But Italy is getting ready for the second phase of its lockdown, under which people will be allowed to slowly return to a "new normal."
