Bergamo Is Post-Peak, But Still Climbing Out Of Coronavirus Crisis
BERGAMO, ITALY - APRIL 7: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) A Civil Protection member is seen in the hangar where 18 coffins of victims of COVID-19 wait to be transported to Florence by the Italian Army to be cremated on April 7, 2020 in the village of Ponte San Pietro near Bergamo, Italy. The number of new COVID-19 cases appears to be decreasing in Italy, including in the province of Bergamo, one of its hardest-hit areas. But as the infection rate slows, life is still far from normal. A local newspaper, the Eco di Bergamo, estimates that the province has lost roughly 4,800 people to coronavirus - almost twice an official tally that only counts hospital deaths - and everyone here knows someone who's fallen ill: a neighbor, a family member, a relative, a friend or an acquaintance. With the virus still so prevalent, Bergamo remains under strict lockdown measures and normal funerals are impossible. The Civil Protection service manages coffins of those who have died of COVID-19. They are first stored in sheds before being transferred to army trucks for transport to other regions where they will be cremated. (Photo by Marco Di Lauro/Getty Images)
