(a–c) Hospitalized cases in the time range that includes holyday season 2020, in Lombardia, Sicily, and Lazio, respectively. (d–f) Corresponding number of fatalities. (g–i) Values of the diffusion coefficient normalized to DL Easing of restrictions during holiday season increased the diffusion coefficient, with peaks centered on January the 5th, 2021. Continuous lines fit the present model to the data. Dashed lines correspond to the decrease of D, after October the 20th, 2020, to DL. Dot-dashed lines describe the situation we would have expected if restrictions had maintained unchanged during holiday season. For Sicily, the simulation of a post-peak holiday season diffusion coefficient that decreases to a level as large as 3 times than DL is shown (dotted lines).
