Where is the highest number of coronavirus infections in Europe? The latest ECDC map shows that the epidemiological situation in Poland is still good. However, it worsened in the regions of Germany bordering on us and in the Baltic states. Unfortunately, the green area in Europe is getting smaller.
- In Poland, compared to the European Union countries, the epidemiological situation is still good
- The wave of coronavirus, which is currently gaining momentum in our country, may, however, mean that we will soon cease to be a “green island”
- On the other hand, it is worst in one of the most popular regions in France, as well as in parts of Ireland and Slovenia
- At the same time, the number of infections in the western part of Europe is starting to decline

The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) publishes a map of coronavirus infections in European Union countries every Thursday. It is a reliable source of information about the pandemic situation in this part of Europe.
The ECDC map is based on data that EU countries report to the European Surveillance System (TESSy). The situation in individual countries, compared to others, is a guide for governments when deciding to introduce restrictions or quarantine rules for people crossing the border.
The epidemic situation in Europe is changing dynamically. The latest map, published on September 16, shows that the coronavirus is “sweeping” from western Europe to eastern Europe.
Still the best situation is in the central part of the continent, but the green, safest area is getting smaller. Poland is still «green», apart from our country there are also Hungary, the Czech Republic and the northern part of Denmark in this zone. Compared to last Thursday, part of Romania and part of Slovakia dropped out of the group of “safe” countries.
The situation with our neighbors worsened. All three Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia), as well as most of Germany bordering Poland, are in the red zone.
- The number of infections in Poland is growing dynamically. It’s already a red warning light
One may suspect that Poland will soon lose its green status. The number of daily coronavirus infections in our country is starting to grow rapidly. On September 16, the Ministry of Health announced 722 new cases of COVID-19. Last Thursday, 522 infections were reported, and two weeks earlier – 390. So you can see that in the last 14 days the number of new cases has almost doubled.
The ECDC map is prepared on the basis of data on COVID-19 infections from the last 14 days.
- In the countries marked in green in the last two weeks, fewer than 50 infections per 100 inhabitants with a simultaneous percentage of positive COVID-19 tests of less than 4 (or less than 75 infections per 100 thousand, but with less than 1% of positive COVID-19 tests).
- Orange color receive those regions where the number of infections exceeds 50 but is still less than 75 per 100. residents.
- The color is red countries where the number of new infections ranges from 200 to 500 per 100 are marked. residents or where it is greater than and less than 200, but at the same time the percentage of positive tests is over 4 percent.
- Dark red color marked where there is more than 500 cases per 100 thousand.
