Recent increases in indicators of transmission and severe disease observed in Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, and France appear to have reached or be close to reaching their peak.Īn increasing trend from primary care sentinel surveillance data in SARS-CoV-2 positivity suggestive of increased community transmission was reported in Spain.
All reported increases were recent (of 1–2 weeks’ duration) and values of reported indicators remained relatively low.
Among 12 countries with data on hospital or ICU admissions/occupancy up to week 18, only two reported an increasing trend in at least one of these indicators compared with the previous week. There were 681 deaths reported from 21 countries in week 18.Ī small number of countries reported increases in some indicators, including three countries with increasing death rates overall or for some age groups. There has been a general downward trend in the height of the associated peaks in reported cases, hospitalisations, ICU admissions, and deaths in this period.īy the end of week 18 (ending ), decreasing or stable trends were observed in EU/EEA indicators in all age groups, a continuation of the pattern observed in the last month. The epidemiological picture in the EU/EEA from the last 12 months continues to be characterised by periodic waves of infection approximately every 2–3 months.
