Italy is under lockdown following the severe outbreak of coronavirus. Apart from facing a shortage of basic supplies like toilet paper and diapers, the country is also falling short in the supplies of masks and gloves, which are critical tools in a COVID-19 hit nation like Italy.
Natali continued to serve the patients even after the hospital ran out of the basic supplies of gloves. He eventually contracted coronavirus and sadly passed away recently, reports NY Post.
While Natali’s colleagues said that the situation has only worsened for the doctors ever since he revealed the shortage and contracted coronavirus last month. “The situation has not gotten better since end of February. We received some masks, some gloves kit, nothing else,” said Paola Pedrini, a regional secretary with Italy’s general practitioners’ federation. “A mask that should last half a day, here lasts a week,” she added.
We can only pray and hope that the situation improves soon. Our prayers are with all those who suffer around the world due to the deadly virus outbreak.
