Italy's health care system is under intense strain as the country faces one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in the world. Till now, a total case of 31,506 have been registered in Italy out of which more than 2500 have died and the country is totally lockdown.

Recently, an Italian man recorded a video and posted it on social media. The man named Luca Franzese made a desperate appeal for help to Italian authorities to collect the body of his sister who he said had died at the home of the new coronavirus. 

"We are ruined. Italy has abandoned us," an emotional Luca Franzese said in a Facebook video as he stood in front of the body of his sister, Teresa Franzese.

Luca said his late sister, who was reportedly 47, had epilepsy and was at high risk of the new COVID-19 disease. She reportedly started feeling unwell last week and died on Saturday. When she died, he said, she had not been tested for the new coronavirus, despite requests by her family.

"My sister is dead in bed. I don't know what to do. I can't give her the funeral she deserves, because the institutions have abandoned me," he said.
