It is less aggressive, the containment barrier starts to work, but does not stop. The obstinacy of COVID-19 left behind yesterday five other victims in Bresciano, all between 74 and 98 years old, (Deaths that mourn above all in the eastern part of our province, in Montichiari, Lonato, Mazzano, Prevalle and one in the Lower West, in Comezzano Cizzago) and 319 new positives.

And if it is true that the countermeasures implemented are beginning to bear fruit, it is also true that the safety zone is not yet on the horizon. This is demonstrated by the latest data analyzed by the Higher Institute of Health, which shows a contagion index for Brescia (the “famous Rt”, the thermometer that measures how quickly the epidemic spreads) equal to 1.9. Still too high, anyway, to breathe that longed-for sigh of relief achieved in the summer months we left behind, when the bar was under 1.

Meanwhile, the first effects of the restrictive measures introduced in Lombardy are being measured concretely with a percentage of positives that seems to be go down progressively. But as the experts have warned, we will have to wait at least a month to measure the consequences of this blockade.
