When all of this is going on, a photo of a crying man is doing rounds on social media which claims that the Italian Prime Minister is not able to control his tears as the death is rising day by day due to COVID 19 in his country.
The article by Daily Bihar (Archive Link) is being shared by many on social media which claim that the Italian PM has lost all his hopes. The article is sharing a picture and is claiming that Italian PM broke down over COVID 19 deaths in his country.
