Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi vowed to free up more economic stimulus and increase vaccinations to offset a prolonged lockdown amid a coronavirus resurgence.
The premier, at his first news conference since his governing coalition was sworn in on Feb. 13, unveiled a 32 billion-euro ($38 billion) pandemic relief package he called “only a first step.” The package was approved at a cabinet meeting earlier Friday.
