ROME, APR 26 - Veneto Governor Luca Zaia said Monday
that two cases of the India variant of COVID-19 have been
identified in the northeastern region.
He said the cases regarded an Indian father and daughter in
Bassano del Grappa who had recently returned from India.
Health Minister Roberto Speranza on Sunday signed an order
banning people who have been in India in the last 12 days from
arriving in Italy due to the high contagion rates in the Asian
country and concern about the new variant. (ANSA).
