The Rt index rises to 1.16 The data from the weekly monitoring of the control room confirm that the trend of cases is in “sharp growth” for the sixth consecutive week and that the epidemic in Italy is expanding further, with the transmissibility index Rt which has risen to an altitude. 1.16 and 11 Regions where the intensive care occupancy rate exceeds the critical threshold of 30%.
The fears of the experts Of particular concern is the parameter of incidence, which in the last week reached 225.64 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. The threshold of 250 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, which imposes the highest possible mitigation level, has already been exceeded in Trento, Bolzano, Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Piedmont and Lombardy. Hence the invitation of the control room to strengthen national mitigation measures, also by anticipating further containment interventions in the areas with greater diffusion and particularly where the South African and Brazilian variants are in circulation.
