Once the country with the largest outbreak, Italy now has the fifth-highest number of cases.
After months of residents living under strict lockdown measures intended to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, Italy will reopen schools in September.

Countries have since surpassed Italy in the number of cases and with 221,216 confirmed infections, it's the fifth-largest outbreak worldwide.
Lockdown measures appear to have been successful and Italy's seen a decline in new cases, prompting officials to start easing restrictions. On May 4, restaurants and bars were allowed to reopen for take-out and factories and construction sites could resume activities. Stores, museums and libraries can reopen on May 18, followed by hair salons and gyms on June 1.
