GREECE: Total confirmed infections: 15,595, deaths: 344, active cases: 13,904
Also in Greece, the number of infections has risen again since the beginning of August, but the country with 10.7 million inhabitants, despite summer tourism, is still relatively good compared to Europe in terms of fighting pandemics . A total of 15,142 people have been infected since the beginning of the pandemic, less than half the number in Austria. The Mediterranean country also has about half of the deaths in this country with 338. With 33.7 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, the country is doing relatively well in a comparison with the EU.
ISRAEL: Total confirmed infections: 190,929, deaths: 1,273, active cases: 52,876
After the country of 8.8 million people managed to quickly control the pandemic in the spring, the former model country now has the second highest infection rate in the world. More than 190,900 infections have been recorded so far, five times more than in Austria, which is comparable in terms of population. Due to the rapidly increasing numbers, the Israeli government imposed another three-week lockdown last week. Therefore, schools and kindergartens are closed again. People can only move more than 1,000 meters from their homes in exceptional cases. Entry to non-Israelis is only allowed in exceptional cases. Tourist trips and business trips are not possible.
The government wants to prevent the health system from being overloaded. According to the Health Ministry on Monday, there are currently 643 seriously ill people in Israel. If this number continues to increase dramatically, clinics are about to reach their capacity limits. Experts consider the figure of 800 seriously ill patients to be a critical mark. Many citizens accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of loosening the crown’s restrictions too quickly, causing a second wave of infections.
NEW ZEALAND: Total confirmed infections: 1,815, deaths: 25, active cases: 61
New Zealand remains one of the most successful countries in containing the pandemic. After a good start and a strict closure in spring, a new focus of infection formed in mid-August in the larger city of Auckland. The government re-imposed strict crown measures, which could be lifted on Monday. In most of the country, the lowest tier 1 of Corona’s four-stage emergency plan applies again. Level 2 continues to apply in Auckland for the time being. The number of new infections has been in the single-digit range again since early September, and no new cases were reported Monday.
NORWAY: Total confirmed infections: 13,005, deaths: 267, active cases: 2,367
After the first cases of corona were discovered in Norway, some of which were attributed to those returning from Tyrol by Norwegian health authorities, the country, unlike neighboring Sweden, imposed strict measures. All schools, bars and other public facilities and airports were closed. The Scandinavian country, which is not part of the EU but is part of the Schengen area free of border controls, imposed the strictest regulations when crossing the border. After a further surge in new infections, entry restrictions that have now been relaxed have been tightened again. Since the beginning of September, the country of 5.4 million people has registered more new infections. With 28.6 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in an average of 14 days, he remains one of the model students in Europe.
