  • supply of protective equipment to staff such as masks with filters and disposable gloves
  • enhanced disinfectant cleaning on board trains
  • distribution of information from the Ministry of Health on monitors, leaflets and announcements to passengers on board trains
  • cancellation of stops by all trains at Codogno and Casalpusterlengo stations, and
