COVID-19: Three-quarters of European countries see coronavirus cases rise – By Alix Culbertson and Carmen Aguilar Garcia (SKY News) / Mar 11 2021
Much of the continent is struggling to vaccinate its populations as cases rise, with the worst in central and Eastern Europe.
The UK has seen a steep drop in COVID-19 cases, hospital admissions and deaths – but the picture in much of the rest of Europe is very different.
Sky News analysis has found cases are rising in three-quarters of European countries, with the highest increases happening in central and eastern Europe.
Only nine of the 40 European countries analysed recorded fewer cases in the first week of March than they did in mid-February, with Portugal, Spain and the UK registering the largest drops.
Spain is the only country that has a lower case rate than it did at the end of September.
