Piedmont could become a yellow zone as of Sunday, December 13.
The official status is still missing, but according to the data there are the parameters by which the region “changes color”: the Rt index has actually dropped to 0.7, while hospital admissions are slowly declining, even if there are still almost 1,000 more hospitalized than in the first wave last spring. The decision could be taken tomorrow, Friday, December 11, and must be ratified by order of the Minister of Health Speranza.
Piedmont became the red zone on November 6, and then moved to the orange zone, therefore with “lighter” measures to contain the virus, as of November 29.
