In a message to the nation to mark World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day on Friday, Italian President Sergio Mattarella said "the virus has cut many lives short and impressed our memory with images we will not forget. But ... the skill of doctors and nurses (and) the dedication of those who played essential roles have allowed us to overcome the most critical stages."
The dedication of the health care workers and volunteers "will help us embark on a new season of civil, economic and social development," Mattarella added.
