    Italy is facing a massive burden from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Since Feb 21, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was recorded in Italy, the National Healthcare Service, which offers universal access to health care, has faced increasing pressure, with 41?035 total cases of COVID-19 and 3405 deaths as of March 19, 2020.1 In the most affected regions, the National Healthcare Service is close to collapse—the results of years of fragmentation and decades of finance cuts, privatisation, and deprivation of human and technical resources.

    • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is rapidly spreading worldwide, and WHO declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The outbreak has hit Europe; as of March 20, 2020, Italy has the second-largest number of confirmed cases, after China. As elegantly presented by Andrea Remuzzi and Giuseppe Remuzzi, a rapid surge of cases is posing a serious threat to the Italian national health system because of the limited capacity of intensive care unit departments.

    • COVID-19: extending or relaxing distancing control measures Tim Colbourn Open AccessPublished:March 25, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2468-2667(20)30072-4 The study by Kiesha Prem and colleagues1 in The Lancet Public Health is crucial for policy makers everywhere, as it indicates the effects of extending or relaxing physical distancing control measures on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, China. Prem and colleagues1 use observed data on COVID-19 spread from Wuhan and finely detailed empirical data from China on the number of contacts per day by age group at home, school, work, and other locations.2 Their model indicates that if the physical distancing measures begun in late January, 2020, in Wuhan are gradually relaxed in March, the virus could start to resurge 3 months later in June, and generate a second peak 5 months later at the end of August, 2020. However, if measures were relaxed a month later in April, 2020, the resurgence would start an additional 2 months later, in August, 2020, and peak in October. Their projections suggest that an additional month of physical distancing measures (or other methods, such as widespread testing) could buy 2 additional months before such measures would have to be reinstated to prevent the resurgence of the epidemic toward health-care system overload. This potential resurgence mirrors that shown to be likely in the model developed by Ferguson and colleagues.3
