(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 28 OTT - As virus is continuing to spread
very fast in countries in Central- and Eastern Europe, the
number of deaths from Covid-19 are significantly increasing in
the region, in particular in the Czech Republic, but also in
Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary, according to data updated
until October 25 from the latest weekly epidemiological update
of the World Health Organization (WHO).
A total of 391,601 new COVID-19 cases (+45.4% compared to last week) and 4,098 new deaths (+38.8% week-on-week) were reported by the countries in the Balkans and in Central- and Eastern Europe to the World Health Organization (WHO) in the week as of October 25, bringing the cumulative total of cases to 2,224,500 and of deaths to 42,200.
The countries across the region that reported more new deaths last week were Poland (827), Czechia (725), Ukraine (682), Romania (506), Hungary (283) and Germany (255). In Czechia, "new deaths per 1 million population are currently the highest (67) since the start of the pandemic and hospitals are expected to be at maximum capacity by mid-November," WHO said.
In Central- and Eastern Europe, the highest number of deaths from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic were reported in Germany (10098), Ukraine (6590), Romania (6470), Poland (4483), Czechia (2365), Moldova (1700), Hungary (1535), Bulgaria (1136) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (1086).
Currently, North Macedonia has the highest rate of deaths per 1 million population in the region (448 against 620 in Italy), followed by Montenegro (430), Moldova (421), Kosovo (353), Romania (336) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (331), while the lowest rate was recorded in Slovakia (30, but it almost doubled in a week).
According to WHO data, in the past week the countries across Central- and Eastern Europe that reported more new cases were Czechia (81907 vs 54820 of a week earlier), Poland (74715 vs 45592), Germany (67207 vs 39110), Ukraine (38538) and Romania (29325). "Slovenia reported their highest daily increase in the number of new cases, 1,964" and "the rapid rise in cases has resulted in the health care system being stretched to capacity," WHO said.
The highest number of cumulative cases of COVID-19 in the area was registered in Germany (449275), followed by Ukraine (355601), Czechia (268370), Poland (263929) and Romania (212492).
