Among these, Basilicata and Sicily have a transmissibility compatible with a type 2 scenario. The other Regions of Calabria and Molise have a transmissibility compatible with a type one scenario, notes the draft of the weekly monitoring report released by the ISS in collaboration with the Ministry of health. 

From Monday 26, Sardinia would like to switch from red to orange: "We have the contagiousness index R (t) at 0.98 - said Health Councilor Mario Nieddu on the sidelines of a session of the Health Commission of the Regional Council on Covid emergency - We are in a situation of moderate risk caused by the presence of outbreaks, but low in impact because the structures are not under stress ". So, "our data is orange" is the message ahead of the control room of tomorrow. And if the epidemiological curve does not drop below 300 cases (today 328), the positivity rate drops to 7.6%, but there are still seven deaths. However, the percentage of beds occupied by covid patients remains below the critical threshold, as also highlighted by the Gimbe Foundation,even if from 14 to 20 April the indicator relating to cases currently positive per 100,000 inhabitants (there are 1,116) worsened, albeit with a 4.5% decrease in infections compared to the previous week. In the meantime, there is an acceleration in the vaccination campaign: yesterday 13,662 doses were administered in the various hubs of the island (about 2500 more than the previous day), a record.

"The draft of the weekly report subjected to the usual assessment of the national control room shows signs of improvement on all indicators. A framework that consolidates and certifies the attribution of the yellow band to Abruzzo, making the long-awaited reopenings possible, to the extent allowed by the recent decree-law ". Thus the governor Marco Marsilio analyzes the situation in Abruzzo, which continues to improve rapidly. If the trend, on the whole, is favorable, there is no shortage of territories in which the numbers continue to be worrying. There are currently 28 municipalities in the red zone, but tomorrow the Regional Crisis Unit will also meet and the map of the major restrictions could be redefined. In particular in Abruzzo the Rt index stops at 0.84 average (0.79-0.89) against 0,92 last week. Hospital pressure drops to 26% (-1%) in intensive care and 34% (-3%).
