The premises are all there, from the data, which is constantly improving: yesterday’s Covid newsletter recorded 1,562 new cases in the region. The Rt index is down as well, below the fatal 1 (currently at 0.74) and the pressure on hospitals. In short, the data seem to give reason to the Lombard governor Attilio Fontana who loudly demands the recognition of the Lombards for the effort made, and therefore the relaxation of anti-contagion measures with the passage in the yellow zone.
