COVID-19

Interactive graph: Covid-19 in Europe
Click here for Investigate Europe’s graph based on hourly updated data from Johns Hopkins University.

We compiled the data of all EEA states for one common “Europe” chart to show the situation we face together. But you can also choose to single out and compare the situation of different countries. One page shows deaths from Covid-19 — a country appears when it has recorded ten deaths. The next page shows confirmed cases of the virus.
