Restrictions are being increased on an almost daily basis in Italy. There are now several "red zones" where at least a partial lockdown is in place. There is another meeting taking place today which will probably announce even further restrictions.

The thing that is often overlooked is that today's figures on Covid are already old news and even if we had a total lockdown today it will make no difference to the increasing rate of hospitalisation for at least 2 weeks. To get the real figure one has to project the current curve 2 or 3 weeks into the future.
