Three Italian regions, Friuli Venezia
Giulia, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna, 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 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.
