The RT drops a little further and reaches 1.13. The weekly analysis of the control room shows a small decrease, as the figure the other week was 1.18. The growth of the epidemic therefore slows down a bit but continues, as daily cases show.
With regard to the incidence and color changes of the Regions, the data are those announced yesterday. From Monday Veneto, Marche, Liguria and the Province of Trento will be added in yellow to Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Province of Bolzano. Lombardy and Emilia Romagna are the two regions most in the balance for next week.
“The weekly incidence is in sharp increase”, they say from the control room. The weekly cases per 100 thousand inhabitants are 241 against 176 last week. “The transmissibility index based on hospitalized cases, which is 1.09, is stable, but still above the epidemic threshold.” The technicians also say that “a Region is classified at high risk, 18 are classified at moderate risk. Among these, three are highly probable for progression to high risk, while for one Region it was not possible to evaluate the progression. Two Regions are classified as low risk “. Finally, there is a sharp increase in the number of new cases not associated with transmission chains, ie 42,675 against 37,278 in the previous week. The percentage of cases detected through the contact tracing activity is decreasing, 31% against 34% of the last week. The percentage of cases detected through the onset of symptoms is increasing, 43% versus 40%, while the percentage of cases diagnosed through screening activities is stable, 26% “.
