For confirmation we will have to wait until next November 27, date decided by the order signed yesterday by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza for the maintenance of the most rigid anti-contagion measures. In fact, the situation in Lombardy and Piedmont is improving and, although it is still in the red zone, the data would already be comparable to those of the orange band regions.
THE CONTAGION SITUATION
In Lombardy and Piedmont, in recent days, there has been a slowdown in the epidemic and the situation is constantly improving, both in hospitals and in the territory.
In Lombardy, the Rt contagion index fell to 1.15 in the latest monitoring issue the number of hospitalizations in intensive care units also decreased. Same situation in Piedmont, where the Rt index, compared to 1.37 last week, has fallen again and is significantly closer to 1.
However, a few days with decreasing data are not enough to relax the restrictions: To reduce the anti-contagion measures, it is necessary to verify the constancy and consolidation of the downward trend by observing the global data for three weeks, so we will have to wait until next November 27.
For the moment, therefore, the strict and very restrictive containment measures adopted in recent weeks remain in force.: possibility of traveling only for work, health or need reasons by submitting a self-declaration, closing of retail activities except food stores, pharmacies, parapharmacies, newsstands, tobacconists, hairdressers and other activities listed in the last dpcm. Bars and restaurants will only be able to carry out takeout or home delivery sales, while in schools the lessons will continue with distance training except for those enrolled in kindergartens, kindergartens, primary schools and first year of secondary school.
