After five weeks of uninterrupted growth, the transmissibility index Rt in Italy drops to 0.97, and admissions to intensive care units and ordinary wards also drop.
But it is too early to think of an actual turnaround of the epidemic curve from Covid-19: there are still too many deaths and cases - 472 victims in the last 24 hours, with 13,633 new infections - and 12 regions still remain above the critical threshold of 30% occupancy of the Revives.
The picture that emerges from the latest weekly monitoring by the Higher Institute of Health and Ministry of Health continues to be a worrying picture, albeit with some initial signs of improvement (data relating to the week 11/1 / 2021-17 / 1 / 2021, updated on 1/20/2021) on the progress of the SarsCov2 epidemic in the country.
Currently there are ten regions with Rt above 1. Molise and Sicily lead the Rt ranking with 1.38 and 1.27 respectively.
This is the picture of the Rt punctual region by region contained in the draft of the 36 / o weekly monitoring Iss-Ministry of Health with data as of 20 January 2021 relating to the week 11/1 / 2021-17 / 1/2021.
The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, on the basis of the data and indications of the Control Room, is about to sign two new ordinances which will go into effect from Sunday 24 January.
The Sardinia Region passes in the orange area.
Following the ISS technical report, the Lombardy Region passes from red area to orange area.
