Vercelli prosecutors on
Wednesday opened a probe into a care home in the northern city
after 35 residents died in the last three weeks.
It is not known how many died with the coronavirus, but half
of the 84 current patients have tested positive for COVID-19.
Amid probes into two hospitals in neighbouring Lombardy,
nationalist opposition League party leader Matteo Salvini said
"we should be handing out medals rather than probes".
Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana said "we want to shed all
due light" on the high number of coronavirus-related deaths at
Milan's historic care home, the Pio Albergo Trivulzio, where the
Bribeseville scandals were triggered in the early 1990s.
