Lower numbers compared to yesterday, when the infected were 949 (of which 885 asymptomatic and 64 with symptoms) but with more swabs analyzed 15,739. These are the data from the latest bulletin from the Crisis Unit of the Campania Region, published today December 20, 2020. The total of positives since the beginning of the pandemic amounts to 180,568, while that of swabs is 1,908,017 . Unfortunately, others are also registered. 11 dead (of which 4 died in the last 48 hours and 7 died previously but registered yesterday), for a total of 2,571 deaths: yesterday there were 32 victims. Although there are 1,104 healed for the day, which brings the total healed to 94,031. Therefore, the trend of improvement of infections in Campania continues. Today the positive swab rate is 6.3%, compared to 6.02% yesterday. If the decline in the curve is also confirmed in the coming days, at the end of December, according to experts, a positive rate could be reached below 2%, a value that would indicate the exit from the tunnel of the second Covid wave.

Despite the improvement in coronavirus infection data, Campania remains the orange zone for Covid19 risk. The governor Vincenzo De LucaIn fact, it has decided to confirm the orange zone in Campania, despite the fact that for the Ministry of Health and the Government the new classification was for the yellow zone, from today until Wednesday, December 23. De Luca’s decision aroused the reaction of restaurateurs and bar managers, who relied on the breath of fresh air before Christmas for a timid economic recovery. The Government, in fact, has foreseen last Christmas Dpcm, in force until Befana, that the holidays will be the red zone, while the other days will be the orange zone.

After this decision of the Palazzo Santa Lucia, protests are inevitable: Confcommercio and Confesercenti complain to the prefect, the restaurateurs, on the other hand, go to the facts: a few dozen restaurateurs and pizza makers who question the governor’s decision. The easing of the restrictions was highly anticipated and was confirmed by the Ministry of Health, which, the protesters explain, had led many to stock up on food for the four days of possible reopening of the new national red zone. Food that will inevitably no longer be of use.
