Italy: Coronavirus transmission rate is declining in the country

The Italian authorities announced today that the coronavirus transmission rate (Rt) fell to 0.81 from 0.85 last week.

At the same time, according to the information so far, from next Monday 16 regions, in total 21, are very likely to be declared a “yellow zone”, with a broad relaxation of security measures.

In this context, the restaurant with outdoor tables, theaters, cinemas and team sports will be reopened, while the coffee bars will now operate normally. The curfew from 10 pm to 5 am remains in force.

Sardinia will again be a “red zone” and all indications are that the other four regions (Calabria, Sicily, Basilicata in the south, and northwestern Valle d’Aosta) will be declared an “orange zone”. The Italian Higher Institute of Health emphasizes that “in the country there is a gradual reduction of infections, but in a more general context which remains critical.”
