Unexpected news also surfaced on Friday night. While the Minister of Health, Aurelius Veryga said Thursday that countries will not be divided into regions, SAM already announces otherwise in a press release issued on Friday.

“SAM points out that in some countries the ‘color’ of a piece may vary. The Italian region of Calabria in the red zone is included in the yellow zone, and Portugal is also in the red zone, with the exception of Azores and Madeira, which are in the yellow zone. And the western Macedonia region in Greece in the yellow zone is in the red zone. Although Germany and Sweden are in the yellow zone, the capitals of these countries, Berlin and Stockholm, are also in the red, ”the ministry said.

SAM Press Office 15 minutes confirmed that it had been decided to evaluate some countries on a regional basis, as did the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. “It so happens that capitals enter the red zone and not all countries. It all depends on how the ECDC evaluates it, ”said a member of the SAM press service.

Belgium, Switzerland, as well as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are in the gray zone.

We remind you that in accordance with the recommendations of the Council of Europe, the Government decided the criteria to be applied at the national level at its meeting on Wednesday. According to them, all the countries of the European Union are divided into four groups according to the traffic light principle, that is, according to the colors: green, yellow, red and gray. The main criteria for evaluating countries are the 14-day morbidity rate of 100,000. population, percentage of positive tests among tests carried out in 7 days, test volumes (number of tests per 100,000 inhabitants) in 7 days.

The green group includes countries with a morbidity of less than 25 cases per 100,000. population in the last 14 days and the proportion of positive tests is less than 4%. This means that those coming from the green zone will not be subject to restrictions.

The yellow group is made up of countries with a morbidity rate of less than 50 cases per 100,000. population in the last 14 days, and the proportion of positive tests is 4% or more. or morbidity in the last 14 days ranges between 25 and 150 cases per 100,000. the proportion of the population and positive research is less than 4%.

The red group includes countries with an incidence of 50 or more cases per 100,000. population in the last 14 days and the proportion of positive tests 4 and more percent. or the morbidity is greater than 150 cases per 100 thousand. population in the last 14 days.

The gray group includes countries whose data are insufficient to assess the above criteria or where test volumes are 300 or fewer studies per 100,000. population within 7 days.
