The European authorities now have a meaningful picture of the pandemic. In confirmed Kovid-19 cases, it is clear: on Christmas and New Year’s days, some countries have significantly reduced their test capacity, and few people visit the doctor even if they show symptoms. As a result, it is not clear whether the epidemic is actually weakening, and in some cases the epidemic numbers have been severely depressed.

Everything is clear too early, especially in relation to the deceased And ICU patients. However, it is clear that the number of 7-day events is lower than before Christmas, especially in Switzerland (-86), Germany (-35) and Austria (-6).. This means cases for one lakh residents within seven days. Authorities in many countries are targeting an event under the age of 50 to better control how fast the virus spreads.
