COVID: Lazio R rate above 1, towards orange zone

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 14 - Lazio's R rate of COVID transmission is now above 1 and the central Italian region is heading for a return from yellow to orange zone, Health Councillor Alessio D'Amato said Thursday.
    Lazio has hitherto always been a moderate risk yellow zone.
    Going orange would mean it is a moderate-to-high risk zone.
    D'Amato said that today there were over 14,000 swabs (+327), 1,816 positive cases (+204), 47 deaths (+6) and +2,012 recovered.
    Admission and intensive care cases were down, while cases and deaths are up.
    The ratio between positives and swabs is 12%.
    Rome had 900 cases again. (ANSA).
