One Italian region, Friuli Venezia
Giulia, and the autonomous province of Bolzano, were dark red in
the new map of COVID-19 contagion rates released by the European
Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on Thursday.
The ECDC corrected an earlier version of the map in which Veneto
and Emilia-Romagna were shown as dark red too, They are now jusr
red.
The European Commission announced this week that it was adding a
new highest tier to its colour code for contagion risk, which is
in addition to the existing colours of green, orange, red and
grey.
Dark red applies to an area where the 14-day notification rate
is more than 500 per 100,000 people.
