Covid Lombardy, is the yellow zone at risk?
However, the permanence of Lombardy in the yellow zone as of January 7, the day of the restart after the most restrictive measures of the Christmas period, is at risk. The final decision is scheduled for January 5, after the analysis of the national scientific technical committee.
Due to the Rt index equal to 1, Lombardy could start again in the orange zone. However, some numbers give hope: Covid deaths are declining. But the report of December 30, the last carried out by the technical-scientific committee, indicates for Lombardy (as for Veneto and Trento) a probability of more than 50% of entering the “critical occupancy threshold” for beds in therapy. intensive in thirty days: this could lead to a more cautious line, represented by the orange zone ”.
