(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 25 - Italy is among a number of EU
countries that have areas classed as 'dark red' zones because
COVID-19 is circulating at very a high level, after the European
Commission updated its colour code for contagion risk.
Portugal, Spain, France and Germany are also among the countries
with significant areas in the new highest tier, which is in
addition to the existing colours of green, orange, red and grey,
Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said.
Dark red applies to an area where the 14-day notification rate
is more than 500 per 100 000 people. (ANSA).
