MILAN: Italy plans to tighten health checks to ensure that work is not disrupted in a small northern town specialising in the production of medical supplies to tackle its coronavirus crisis.
The idea is to ask companies to carry out swab tests on their employees to help monitor the health of workers in an area deemed of national strategic interest. Faster tests being developed in a nearby laboratory could also come into play once validated. Production in the area, badly damaged in a deadly earthquake eight years ago, has shot up by more than 20 per cent.
"We wanted to double production but it's just not possible since that would require building plant and that takes more than six months," Dimar founder Maurizio Borsari said, adding that problems faced by suppliers, transport bottlenecks and a shortage of raw materials was also holding up work.
