We remind you that in accordance with the recommendations of the Council of Europe, the Government decided the criteria to be applied at the national level at its meeting on Wednesday. According to them, all the countries of the European Union are divided into four groups according to the traffic light principle, that is, according to the colors: green, yellow, red and gray. The main criteria for evaluating countries are the 14-day morbidity rate of 100,000. population, percentage of positive tests among tests carried out in 7 days, test volumes (number of tests per 100,000 inhabitants) in 7 days.
The green group includes countries with a morbidity of less than 25 cases per 100,000. population in the last 14 days and the proportion of positive tests is less than 4%. This means that those coming from the green zone will not be subject to restrictions.
The yellow group is made up of countries with a morbidity rate of less than 50 cases per 100,000. population in the last 14 days, and the proportion of positive tests is 4% or more. or morbidity in the last 14 days ranges between 25 and 150 cases per 100,000. the proportion of the population and positive research is less than 4%.
