Florence, March 23, 2021 – The red zone is one step away all over Tuscany. This was confirmed this Tuesday by the president of the Region Eugenio Giani, who in these hours assesses the situation and awaits the decision, as every Friday, which will arrive from Rome, the Ministry of Health and the control room which assigns colors.
Today Tuscany, Giani says, has 250 cases per week for every 100,000 inhabitants. Just the number that represents the fatal threshold that triggers the red zone, together to other parameters evaluated by the Ministry as the occupation of hospitals and intensive care. In short, Tuscany is really on the wire. “We are oranges, but at the limit,” says the president.
It seems doomed to turn red in the week of March 29, April 4, Easter. “The next two days become decisive,” says Giani. And now, therefore, the next two newsletters will be important. If infections and occupied beds in the hospital do not decrease, the red zone seems obvious.
Covid Toscana, all updates
The current red zones in Tuscany
On Tuesday, March 23, there were 1062 new cases, Tuscany has not exceeded a thousand cases since March 1. IS keep increasing, for about a month, hospitalizations for covid: there are currently 1729 in the ward of Tuscan hospitals due to the coronavirus. Therefore, the focus is on the newsletters on Wednesday and Thursday.
New positives in the first swabs, the data in Tuscany day by day
“The municipalities in which 5 weeks ago I focused on the red zone, I think about Closed, for example, after the interventions with the closure of the school, today they are among the municipalities in which the circulation of contagion is lower ”, concluded Giani.
Among the provinces that, however, red Tuscany or not, could enter the red zone is also that of the capital, Florence.
“There is a growing trend of infections in the Florentine area – says Mayor Dario Nardella – We are close at 400 positive cases per day, there is a slight increase in pressure even in hospitals. As for the Rt index, we are very close to 1.25, and as for the ratio of infections per 100,000 inhabitants, we are approaching the threshold of 250. Florence it has never gotten this close to red zone levels. Unfortunately, today’s data is affected by a problem that occurred in one of the testing labs, so we have relatively low numbers but they don’t make sense. “
Meanwhile, another municipality has decided to go to the red zone from Thursday, March 26 to Sunday: it is Borgo a Mozzano, in the province of Lucca, an area that has seen in the last hours other municipalities that are added to those that have turned red in Tuscany, and now there are about a hundred. as well Altopascio, Villa Basilica and Bagni di Lucca They decided, at a summit between the mayors and Giani himself, to adopt the maximum degree of closures possible after the spread of infections with the achievement of the fateful threshold of 250.
