Abstract

We evaluated the short-term effects of mitigation measures imposed by the Italian government on the first 10 municipalities affected by Sars-Cov-2 spread. Our results suggest that the effects of containment measures can be appreciated in about approximately 2 wk.

Highlights

  • I n the past weeks, several countries implemented mitigation measures in the attempt to curb the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic

  • As data at the municipality level are not available, we used data from the whole Lodi province and 2 neighboring provinces to indirectly estimate the daily number of cases in the red zone

  • We assumed that the municipalities of the Lodi Province out of the red zone had incidence rates similar to the neighboring provinces (Milan and Pavia)
