Rome, March 12 : Italy’s main rail operator announced plans to start operating “Covid-free” trains to some of its main destinations starting next month.
On Thursday, Gianfranco Battisti, Ferrovie della Stato Italiane’s Chief Executive, said in a televised interview that the company would first start operating the trains between Rome and Milan, the country’s two biggest cities, reports Xinhua news agency.
By summer, he said, the trains would connect some of the country’s main tourist cities.
“It will be a unique opportunity to allow people to safely visit destinations like Venice and Florence,” Battisti said.
As with the so-called “Covid-free” flights Italy started to promote last year, the trains cannot guarantee they are free of the virus.
But they can operate with a greater degree of health security.
