The main problem is the economic hit with quite a few local businesses in trouble.
I dont think anything would have been much better in the UK.

Things have been well organised in Umbria. Our Coop is still giving tickets for entry and everyone is wearing gloves and masks or at least cleaning their hands at the door. My partner has been to day hospital in Perugia and she was Covid tested at the entrance.

This is a bit more positive from the Telegraph with a woman moving to Catania.
