The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control's (ECDC) latest Covid map shows that Croatia is entirely dark red as are large parts of Eastern Europe.

Dark red signifies a very high risk of Covid-19 incidence.

“Last week the capital Zagreb and eastern Croatia were dark red on the ECDC map, while Adriatic Croatia and northern Croatia were red,” state agency Hina explained.

Unlike during the summer months, when the epidemiological situation was worst in the west of the EU, now regions in the east of the EU are mostly marked red or dark red.

All regions of Bulgaria, Romania and Slovenia are dark red, as are the largest parts of Slovakia and smaller parts of Greece. Hungary and Germany are entirely red, while neighboring Austria is partly red and partly dark red. The epidemiological situation is better in the Czech Republic, where two regions are orange and the rest are red. The situation is similar in Poland, while all Baltic countries are entirely dark red.

In Scandinavia, Sweden has the best situation, being entirely orange, while Finland is completely red. The Benelux countries as well as Ireland are red or dark red, while France is completely orange. Italy and Spain have the best epidemiological situation, being green and orange, while Portugal is orange.

The ECDC updates its epidemiological map every Thursday.

Red means the number of active cases in the past two weeks has been between 75 and 200 per 100,000 population and that 4 percent or more of Covid tests performed have been positive. Dark red are those countries where the total number of cases in 14 days has been over 500.
