The map of Portugal is all red

The European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) provides citizens with maps on COVID-19 in Europe. This was a request from the Council of the European Union, taking into account the worsening epidemiological situation in several countries.

Unfortunately, almost like Europe, the COVID-19 map of Portugal is all in red.

Unified COVID traffic light COVID-19
The maps are published weekly and are updated every Thursday.  The criteria were recommended by the Council of the EU, and through easy-to-interpret graphics we can see what COVID-19 looks like at the European level.  The goal is to inform and increase transparency and predictability for citizens and businesses.
It is true that in Portugal the counties with a high risk of contagion will increase to 191, but in the “eyes” of Europe our country, in general, has a high rate. It should be noted that our country has an even higher incidence than Spain in the last 14 days. You can see more graphics here.

What do the colors represent in the unified COVID traffic light?
The European Center for Disease Control indicates that ...

THE GREEN There are regions where the rate of notification of new cases in the previous 14 days is less than 25 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and the rate of positive tests is less than 4%.
THE ORANGE It is used in areas where, in the space of two weeks, there are less than 50 new cases of infection per 100,000 inhabitants, but the rate of positive tests is equal to or greater than 4% or, if it is below the threshold of 4%, the notification rate is between 25 and 150 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
THE GREY are the areas for which there is not enough information or the testing rate is less than 300 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants
RED the regions where the 14-day notification rate is equal to or greater than 50 per 100,000 inhabitants and the positive test rate is equal to or greater than 4%, as well as the regions where the 14-day notification rate is equal or higher more than 150 infections per 100,000 inhabitants even if the positive test rate is less than 4%

There are several counties that are not on the list of the 191 with the highest infection rate.  However, as seen on the map, the numbers are very high for Portugal, in general.  People should continue to protect themselves by wearing a mask, washing their hands, etc.
