The R coronavirus infection rate has
risen from 0.43 to 1.63 in Veneto, raising the risk from low to
elevated, Governor Luca Zaia said Friday.
The resurgence after a long flattening is due to an outbreak in
Vicenza, Zaia said.
In the city near Venice, he said, a businessman who returned
from a trip to Bosnia tested positive after refusing to go to
hospital after the first symptoms.
Zaia said he would step up prevention measures, introducing the
enforced hospitalisation of those who refuse admittance.
