Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Tuesday that his country expects to release a plan sometime this week for coming out of the COVID-19 lockdown, with some restrictions to be lifted on May 4.

Countries across Europe and beyond—joined in the United States by a cascade of states—have moved to gradually reopen amid warnings that acting too quickly, and without a sound plan, could enable the virus to resurge.
