First: change and parameters which place the regions in one of the three zones (yellow, orange and red).

In fact, if in the last week the percentage of increase in new cases went from 31% to 24.4%, however, they increased by 242,609 units compared to the previous week. The result is that Covid patients “are progressively ‘cannibalizing’ beds in other wards,” limiting the ability to help patients with other diseases. this scenario, he concludes, “to hypothesize a relaxation of the measures with the aim of save christmas, you probably have very serious consequences, in terms of human lives “.
