I thank the witnesses for their time and input this afternoon. I have a question for Dr. Buquicchio. Earlier this year, at the beginning of the pandemic, how soon did the Italian Government respond with required regulations? We looked on in shock at the high rise in numbers across Italy. How soon were the regulations brought in and have they since been extended? Dr. Buquicchio earlier stated that some of regulations have expired but have some since been extended and if so, for how long?
