(ANSA) – PERUGIA, FEB 11 – Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti,
archbishop of Perugia and president of the Italian Bishops
Conference (CEI), said in a message on World day of the Sick
Thursday that “now is not the time for polemics and divisions:
the world of politics, too, is called to find unity in
addressing the epochal emergency (of COVID-19)”.
He added: “It is to the world of healthcare that we look with
admiration and trepidation”.
Ex European central banker Mario Draghi is expected to head a
national unity government to lead Italy out of a COVID epidemic
