The president of the Valle d'Aosta Region, Erik Lavevaz, asks with a letter to the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, "to review - due to obvious miscalculations - the classification" of the Region, currently in the red zone.

In case of rejection, the regional council announces that "it will take all the consequent legal and political decisions in defense of the statutory system of the Aosta Valley".

According to the latest monitoring by the Higher Institute of Health, the contagion index in the Region is still over 1 (1.1). 

Already yesterday evening, Lavevaz had asked Rome to explain "why we are in the red zone".

"Yesterday we hospitalized a citizen of Biella, because so many resuscitations in Piedmont were saturated - the Aosta Valley president wrote on Twitter, in controversy with the government's choice not to reclassify the region in the orange zone -. Today we deduce (no communications arrive from Rome) that we will remain the red zone and now we do not know why. Rome must give us clear answers, this is not seriousness ".

"The lack of explanation of the data analysis criteria and the lack of timely communications worry the Valle d'Aosta regional council, which reserves all political action in the next few hours, after the government announcement confirming the autonomous region as a 'zone red '", reports a note from the Aosta Valley Council.
