The pandemic in Italy is not slowing down and the numbers are always worrying, so much so that as many as five regions pass from the yellow to the orange zone. In fact, from 11 November the Autonomous Province of Bolzano will become the red zone, together with Lombardy, Piedmont, Calabria and Valle d'Aosta which have been so since the beginning of the new lockdown light. THEn the orange zone instead enter Abruzzo, Basilicata, Liguria, Tuscany and Umbria which were initially in the yellow zone.
The five regions are now joining Puglia and Sicily. As is known, the risk of contagion is very high in the red regions; riskiness that becomes medium level in the orange areas and low level in the yellow ones. Meanwhile, according to the data provided by the Ministry of Health, 24 new positive cases have been registered in the last 35.098 hours; the increase in tampons is equal to 217.758. In intensive care there are currently 2917 patients affected by Covid while the infected in home isolation are 558.506 for a total of positive cases of 590.110. The number of people who died in the last 24 hours is 580 more than yesterday.
The circulation of the virus in the regions
"In Italy, the growth of positive cases is very significant above 100 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. Le intensive therapies and hospitalizations in the medical area show a curve that grows rapidly near critical thresholds ”. Like this Silvio Brusaferro, president ofHigher Institute of Health, who underlined: "The incidence is high, there are differences between regions but our country largely exceeds the threshold set at EU level".
Contain the high risk with mitigation measures
According to the president of the Higher Institute of Health, we are today “In a high-risk situation with the need for mitigation measures, ie social measures to slow down the virus. In this regard, behaviors are fundamental. Italy 'is a 3' scenario country - explained Brusaferro - We are at an Rt of 1.7, with a confidence interval of 1.5 '.
A Rt that has shown a slowdown in its growth but to reduce the cases we have to bring the Rt below 1. All regions are above Rt 1, in some cases they are at 2. All systems are fine but the battle to bring the epidemic back to a sustainable dimension passes above all to the daily behavior of each one. Masks, hygiene and distances are the key to bringing the curve back to a contained dimension ".
