Italy has been battling the world’s largest number of cases of the new coronavirus outside of China. Cristian Fracassi founded and heads the Italian start up company Isinnova. He told the Reuters news agency that he heard about a shortage of the valves at a hospital near the northern city of Brescia. The area has had an explosion of coronavirus cases.
