Covid is scary again: Rt contagion index above the epidemic threshold

The Rt contagion index of the Covid-19 epidemic in Italy returns to exceed 1 .

This was indicated by the research groups that calculate the indices equivalent to the RT elaborated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, but with techniques that allow for more up-to-date values .

The progressive rise in the Rt contagion index observed in recent weeks in Italy has now brought the value above the epidemic threshold of 1 .

The physicists, epidemiologists and statistics of the CovidTrends site indicate that the index equivalent to RT , called Covindex, is currently equal to 1.2 ; the CovidStat site of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (Infn) indicates the value of 1.04 (intermediate between 1.08 and 1.00).
