Italian doctors celebrated one small victory in their battle against the coronavirus after a 38-year-old man was moved out of intensive care for the first time since he tested positive Feb. 21 and opened Italy’s health care crisis as Patient No. 1.

The 38-year-old Unilever worker named Mattia was the first person to test positive in the north who hadn’t been to China.
