Covid, Ecdc map: dark red Italy, highest risk range

The whole of Italy remains in dark red, in the range of greatest Covid risk, according to the latest update of the color map of the ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control), which is processed on the basis of the new registered cases in the last 14 days per 100 thousand inhabitants and the positive rate between the tests carried out, weighted by the vaccination rate of the population. And while in various areas of Europe the gray color remains, indicating a test rate of less than 600 per 100 thousand inhabitants, an insufficient level to determine the stratification of the Covid risk, the yellow areas are expanding (in addition to Bulgaria also a part of Romania ), and the remaining part of Romania and an area in Poland are colored green. Dark red is the dominant color in much of the central block of the EU: in addition to the Italian peninsula, all of France, Belgium, Austria, Slovenia, Portugal to the west and some regions of Spain are of this color. which remains partly light red, and further east Slovakia and Greece. Lithuania and Estonia join Latvia in light red, a color that also fills the Czech Republic, Ireland, Iceland and Denmark. Finland also remains dark red, in which some gray regions appear, while Croatia is divided between light red and gray that characterizes entire countries such as Hungary, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as part of Spain and Poland. For Germany, however, even in the last week there are “insufficient data available” for the purposes of the map.
