Lombardia continues to be the hardest-hit region, as it has been in every ‘wave’ thus far. Emilia-Romagna is also surging, and is now reporting new highs.
B.1.1.7 (the UK variant) is now prevalent among Italy’s schoolchildren and is fueling a “robust” uptick in the country, according to the health minister.
Additionally, P.1 (the Brazil variant) now makes up ~4% of cases. B.1.1.7 is >50%.

We are now a full year into the pandemic, and much of Europe and the US continues to use the red zone strategy, increasing restrictions in high transmission areas and relaxing them as they go down, which results in yo-yo lockdowns and high infection rates.
