The data coming from Lombardy and Piedmont – two of the first regions to enter the red zone, two weeks ago, after the last Decree of the presidency of the council of ministers against the Covid pandemic – have, after weeks, returned to improve.
As written who, these two regions for four days have technically entered the orange zone: and if the trend continues, in ten days they will be out of the lockdown and the restrictive measures can be relaxed. The first regions to enter the red zone should also be the first to exit, the minister said Greetings Roberto Speranza, which in any case calls for the utmost caution, as the virus continues to strike.
If Lombardy and Piedmont really could return to the orange zone, and if there were no further regulatory changes, what would be possible again in these regions compared to the current regime?
