Therefore, attention is directed to January 7th, When the Christmas Dpcm will expire and the regions will return in no particular order following the proven system of yellow, orange and red zones. Until December 23, the eve of the entry into force of the Christmas decree, Lombardy was in the yellow zone and from there he would like to start over. Everything will depend on the numbers, of course, that yesterday they spoke of a positivity rate of 11.7% (+ 4.7% compared to the previous day) and an Rt index of 1, higher than 0.93 of the national average.

The 1 actually represents the criticality threshold of the transmissibility index Rt, according to the parameters ofHigher Institute of Health which constantly monitors the situation, and Lombardiasis is in equilibrium at that threshold.
