Contrarily to other EU countries, last weekend Great Britain's response to coronavirus wasn't as dramatic; public venues and schools were still open, the COVID-19 test hadn't been applied to most of the population and borders were still open.

Boris Johnson's announcements and approach have been criticised and the debate has raged in the UK government.

SBS Italian asked some Italian residents and citizens in Great Britain how they're facing the coronavirus crisis.
