At a time when Italy is widely believed to be the worst-hit country from coronavirus, the family behind Ferrari has reportedly donated 10 million euros and 150 ventilators to help the country fight the pandemic.

Over 5,000 people have died from coronavirus - officially termed Covid-19 by World Health Organisation - across Italy with several cities here in complete lock down mode. The country's health infrastructure is believed to be under tremendous pressure and almost every establishment, barring essential services, has been shut down.
