The rules in the red zone
Tuscany coronavirus, all updates
Queues in supermarkets before the two closing days of Easter
Remember that Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are the red zone for all of Italy. Tuscany will thus spend at least three weeks in the red zone, as it has entered it. March 29.
The red zone is imposed because the region has far exceeded the rate of the 250 weekly cases every one hundred thousand inhabitants: in fact it has reached 261, maintaining a rather low Rt compared to the previous weeks: 1.08. Meanwhile, there are 103 municipalities that exceed the limit of 250 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
Among the areas with the greatest difficulty are the province of Prato and Pistoia that do not appear to have benefited from the closures imposed in recent weeks and continue to report a number of cases well above the limit. In particular, Prato achieves a sad record: with 484 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, it is one of the municipalities most affected by the virus in the entire country.
The province of Lucca is not doing better, in particular Versilia where the main focuses are concentrated, and above all Florence, until recently the last ‘bastion’ against the third wave of the virus, which this week has red zone numbers. Regional leaders are also concerned about the pressure on the regional hospital system, with indicators indicating a 43% occupancy of Covid beds, 13 points above the 30% alert quota established by the Ministry of Health.
Along with Tuscany, according to the ordinance of Ministry of Health Calabria, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Piedmont, Puglia, Tuscany and Valle d’Aosta also maintain the red zone. Marche, Veneto and the autonomous province of Trento instead pass in orange zone starting Tuesday, April 6.
In the extension of the red zone in Tuscany Hospitalizations certainly weigh too much: the number of people hospitalized is approaching 1900. At the worst moment of the second wave, Tuscany reached the peak of hospitalizations with around 2,100 hospitalizations.
In Tuscany “we are still in the red zone because infections have increased (I recommend: masks always, Wash hands frequently, meetings never), but I am convinced that we are near a tipping point. From the national government they assure that in a few days large quantities of vaccines will arrive (from mid-April also Johnson & Johnson) and we will be able to initiate the definitive exit of this. terrible pandemic“He writes it in his newsletter. Antonio Mazzeo, President ofl Regional Council of Tuscany, reiterating that “today is not the time for controversy” but to vaccinate.
