The weekly epidemiological maps of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on the spread of COVID-19 will henceforth be based on data weighted by vaccine uptake in each country and region of the EU/EEA, following the adoption by the Council of the EU of new rules and recommendation for travels inside the EU, the ECDC has announced.
On the occasion of the new rules, which are in effect since February 1st, the ECDC published its first epidemiological map produced with weighted data. As before, the seriousness of the situation in each region is marked as “green” (safe, relatively low levels of virus spreading), “orange”, “red” and “deep red” (for the regions where the virus is spreading faster).
