Vaccine, EU action key tools for Italy's post-COVID rebirth: president
ROME, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- The vaccine to prevent the coronavirus disease and the European Union (EU) recovery program will be two crucial tools for Italy's relaunch in 2021, Italian President Sergio Mattarella said Thursday in his New Year speech.
"The pandemic has carved deep scars in our lives and our society. It has worsened old inequalities and created new ones," said Mattarella.
However, he stressed that important and encouraging signals should allow the Italians to turn their fears and worries into positive energies to restart.
