Statistics show what is happening on the Old Continent. On July 6, in France, Germany and Italy, the daily number of infections exceeded 100. The day before, France had over 200 jobs. new cases. It is also not happy in other countries. According to ourworldindata.org data, the average weekly number of infections per million inhabitants has exceeded XNUMX in eight EU countries. In addition to the already mentioned France, Germany and Italy, these are: Luxembourg, Austria, Greece, Cyprus and Malta.

Another wave of COVID-19. The ECDC map shows what is happening
From a longer perspective, see the map of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which is updated every week. The reference point here is the COVID-19 infection statistics in the European Union countries from the last 14 days.
The ECDC map is based on data that EU countries report to the European Surveillance System (TESSy).
Dark red color – over 300 cases per 100 thousand.
Red color – the number of new infections is between 100 and 300 per 100.
Orange color – the number of cases in the range of 40-100 per 100 thousand.
Countries marked in green: less than 40 cases per 100
Dark gray – the testing rate is lower (or equal to) than 600 cases per 100 thousand.
Stripes on a gray background – not enough information
The above map shows that the difficult situation also prevails, among others in Portugal, in the west of Slovenia and in Iceland.
It is encouraging that, thanks to the developed immunity, the new wave of infections has not resulted (so far) in a sharp increase in ICU admissions or a serious increase in deaths.
