Rome, 21 January 2021 – In the division ofItaly in the era of Covid (who zones him), we approach a further, possible color change of regions: today, Friday 22 January, i data of the Higher Institute of Health on the basis of which – starting from Sunday or at the latest from Monday – the steps will be established, or we will be ‘stamped’ again with red, orange and yellow zone (hardly anyone will enter the coveted white area). The relative rules will follow (let’s recap them here). While waiting for the ISS data, we can still make some rough predictions, and the game is open in every region. And while the fate of the Lombardy (the decision of the Tar on appeal against the red zone has been postponed to Monday), the Government responds to faq on anti-Covid measures, with some novelties (for example that of second homes outside the region).
Covid Bulletin of January 21: region-by-region data
White zone: the 3 criteria for entering it
Lombardia in the red zone, the resort
Against the red zone, Pirellone sends other data to the TAR, whose hearing has been postponed. “We take note of the postponement ordered by the Lazio TAR on the appeal presented by the Lombardy Region and we await the hearing on Monday – the Lombardy Region communicates in a note – The technicians of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the Directorate General of Welfare are interlocution and, in the next few hours, they will evaluate a series of additional data from the Lombardy Welfare Department to expand and strengthen the standard data already transmitted in the previous week, for the purpose of a re-evaluation in view of the control room “.
The reason for the delay of the Tar? Judge Riccardo Savoia writes: “It is opportune the acquisition of the report phase 2 containing the data relating to week 11 January-17 January 2021, whose publication is expected today, Friday 22 January “.
Emilia Romagna and the orange zone
We already know that Emilia Romagna it goes towards another week of the orange zone and presumably the color of the Region, in the Covid zone system designed by the Government for the containment of the Covid-19 pandemic, will remain the same until the beginning of February. The reasons? Simple: it takes two weeks with Rt less than 1 to improve the range and switch to ‘yellow’. Furthermore, the data is not doing very well and the slight decline in the last week is not enough to change color.
Veneto points to the yellow zone
Hope for a color change on Veneto which was included in the orange zone, but had an Rt index lower than 1. It would have been the Region itself to ask for the intermediate risk band, on 15 January. But now things could change. Zaia hopes us: “For us the orange zone has been prudential, but our parameters have always been yellow”, says the governor today, underlines “Our Rt is now at 0.82”, he stresses. Last week the value was at 0.96.
“On Friday there will be a new classification, I don’t know what it will be, we have good data … We’ll see if we still have an orange zone or a yellow zone, certainly not a red zone”, Zaia’s conclusion.
Tuscany
There is optimism in the region Tuscany, where the data gives hope for the confirmation of the yellow color. Today’s bulletin speaks of 503 new cases of Coronavirus, out of 10,115 molecular swabs, 14 deaths and 468 recoveries. The downward trend of hospitalized patients continues: in the Covid areas there are a total of 775 patients under treatment (-34 compared to yesterday), of which 116 in intensive care (+3).
Sicily risks lockdown
“In Sicily it continues to be high the number of deaths and infections – reports the governor Nello Musumeci – We are worried. For two days we passed Lombardy. We were in mid-table positions. So I have the right and the duty to be alarmed and if the numbers do not drop we will be forced to adopt even more restrictive measures “. And again:” If the contagion does not subside at the end of the month we will adopt further restrictive measures in agreement with the national government and I don’t rule out that it can get to a lockdown like last spring“.
Zone Italia Covid: the criteria
We remind you that according to the new rules oflast Dpcm it ends in the area Orange with Rt above 1 in its minimum value, while entering the range rossa with an Rt above 1.25 (always considering the lower value of the “fork”). To ‘pale’ in color and go from orange to yellow, for example, it takes two weeks with Rt less than 1.
But in addition to the new RT thresholds for entry into the bands, we must look at the incidence rate.
Meanwhile, according to the Gimbe foundation, thanks to red christmas zone infections fell from 13 to 19 January: -20% positive compared to the previous week, against a significant and anomalous drop in the positive / cases tested ratio (19.8% compared to 29.5%).
