Yellow or orange zone
The location of Lombardy, which before the entry into force of the Christmas decree on December 24 was in the yellow zone, will depend precisely on the numbers of these days, in particular data that will emerge from monitoring set for January 5. Pnow the only one meeting with the Government and the Scientific Technical Committee The national is scheduled for January 8, so if no other emergency meetings are held before Lombardy, it will remain in the yellow zone at least Thursday 7 and Friday 8 January. The after is precisely linked to contagion numbers, that if they are worried it could take the region to the orange zone.
Rt index
Today the physicist Roberto Battiston (University of Trento) has calculated that the iRt index in Italy is currently equal to 0.99, a result similar to that provided by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Iss). “The identification of the red, yellow and orange zones starts from the value of the Rt index, but does not consider the degree of development of the epidemic in the zone”, observes Battiston. According to the physicist, “the number of positive cases in the region should be included in the evaluation because it is the two values together that determine the speed with which the epidemic can spread with the risk of saturating the local health system.”
Vaccination campaign
Instead, tomorrow will be the day in which Lombardy will have to change the vaccination campaign, with all 65 centers chosen by Pirellone who will work at full speed, some also on Saturdays and Sundays. Each hospital must exceed the quota of 400 vaccines a day. Some garrisons, such as the Vizzolo Predabissi hospital in the Milan area and the Treviglio hospital in the Bergamo area, were ahead of the times. starting today. However, controversies over the administration delays of vaccines, with Lombardia at 14th place (from twenty regions) by percentage of doses actually used. The Mayor of Varese, Davide Galimberti, spoke today about “unacceptable delays” and of “disturbing data: only 3% of the vaccines administered compared to more than 80 thousand already delivered to the Region ”.
