you are in the orange zone, two in red – Corriere.it

the Piedmont in the orange band, Lazio and Lombardy in the balance, as well as the Apulia, the Market and the Basilicata. Campania could turn red, but also Emilia Romagna, who already brought Bologna in dark orange. Outbreaks triggered by variants of Covid 19 trigger the rise of RT in many parts of Italy and there are several regions that can change color.

The trend of the curve is worrying, the draft of the new Dpcm that will be delivered today to the governors to be finalized on Monday, will not lead to any reopening. On this the ministers of health Roberto Speranza and regional affairs Mariastella gelmini they were explicit. We will talk about it again from April 6, after the Easter holidays. The only exception could affect cinemas and theaters, which today should have the green light from the CTS for the reopening of theaters on March 27, but only if the curve is really downhill. But the first decisions about schools could come, at a summit convened last night at Palazzo Chigi it was decided to deepen the trend of infections in Lombardy and Piedmont.

The regions

If the president of Piedmont Alberto Cirio has already announced that the RT at 1.03 and therefore goes orange, Lombardy is still on the line and that is why the leaders of Pirellone await the analysis of the control room to understand what will happen. Local restrictions are increasing throughout Italy (Siena and Pistoia will be red zones for a week from tomorrow) and the Regional Health Councilor of Emilia-Romagna, Raffaele Donini, has made it known that from tomorrow Bologna enters the strip dark orange with schools closed starting Monday. Lazio sub 1 but attention must continue to be very high, recommends the Councilor for Health Alessio D’Amato without being able to exclude that today the crossing of the data – taking into account the numerous red zones created in the last week – leads to the orange band following the indications of the control room. Liguria has an Rt index of 0.94 so we expect to return to the yellow band, anticipates the president Giovanni Toti while in Campania the mayor Luigi de Magistris does not rule out that Naples could become a red zone while the Region hopes to remain in orange.

The new colors

Net hope: The serious situation, there is an increase in cases in Italy as in other countries such as France due to the impact of the variants. therefore, it is necessary not to loosen the measurements now. In front of the rulers, the axis with Gelmini confirms that the gang system will be maintained and explains: Until now, a generalized closure has been avoided and this should be the main objective for the coming weeks and months. The review of the parameters could be agreed next month, at the time we proceed with the same indicators and Gelmini gives a jab at the Presidents of the Region: To completely change one method, the band system, a different one is needed. And at the moment it seems to me that this is not there, because no one has indicated an alternative method. Instead, the request was accepted to allow economic activities not to be missed on the weekend and therefore band changes will be communicated every Friday to start on Monday. Instead, they are immediate ordinances for the red and dark orange zones which seek to immediately limit outbreaks caused by virus mutations and at this time more difficult to counteract.
