(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 12 - Italy has five regions coloured red
on the map of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and
Control (ECDC) on the COVID-19 situation after it was updated on
Thursday.
Calabria was bumped up to red on Thursday, joining Sicily,
Sardinia, Tuscany and Marche.
A region is red if the 14-day cumulative COVID-19 case
notification rate ranges from 75 to 200 and the test positivity
rate of tests for COVID-19 infection is 4% or more, or if the
14-day cumulative COVID-19 case notification rate is more than
200 but less than 500.
The maximum level on the map is a notch higher, dark red.
Almost all of the rest of Italy is a notch down, orange.
But Molise and the autonomous province of Bolzano remain at the
lowest level - green. (ANSA).
