Waiting for Pasqua in lockdown throughout Italy, the number of regions in red zone. In Lombardy, Piedmont, Friuli Venezia Giulia, the Autonomous Province of Trento, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Puglia and Campania, Tuscany could also be added from Monday 29 March. But the Valle d’Aosta and Calabria are also under observation. The exception is Lazio which, after two weeks in lockdown, travels towards the “promotion” in the orange band.
Tuscany close to the red zone
Tuscany is one step away from the red zone. The incidence travels around 250 cases per week per 100 thousand inhabitants, close to the threshold that leads to the scenario with more restrictions. In monitoring the control room which takes place on Friday, the week that goes from Friday to Thursday preceding the work of the technicians of the Higher Institute of Health and of the Ministry is taken into account. So it will be necessary to check the trend of the next few days before the lockdown can be sanctioned. Meanwhile, the list of municipalities in the red zone in the region is lengthening: we are at 94 out of 273 total.

Valle d’Aosta and Calabria are also at risk
But the Aosta Valley is also at risk of passing into the red band. With 256 new positives per 100 thousand inhabitants, it is just above the threshold (250) which marks the entry into the range with the greatest restrictions. Calabria in the latest ISS monitoring the RT touched the limit value of 1.25. And even if the incidence of infections remains far from the alert level, the region is noted for one of the lowest percentages (71.3%) of vaccine doses administered compared to those delivered. While
Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna in red until 11 April
In the weekly monitoring of March 26 Lombardy, Piedmont, Friuli Venezia Giulia, the Autonomous Province of Trento, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Puglia and Campania they should report all data still from the red zone. Because, regardless of the Rt value (not yet known), they record a number of new cases above the critical threshold of 250 new positives per 100 thousand inhabitants. Therefore, they should not be able to aspire to the orange zone before Monday 12 April. According to the provisions of the legislation, in fact, not only is it mandatory to remain in the highest risk range (red or orange) for at least two weeks but, to be reclassified, it is mandatory to “stay for fourteen days in a risk level or lower than that which determined the restrictive measures ».
Lazio towards the orange band from 29 March
Lazio, on the other hand, seems to be heading towards a “promotion” in the orange zone. The parameters had already improved last week. The incidence of cases remains below 250. And, barring a surge in the RT, it should therefore return to the less restricted range starting Monday, March 29, after a two-week lockdown. Although, in view of the Easter holidays starting March 31, a return in presence of schools for just two days.
