Infection curves in the UK, Germany and France have started to stabilize last week. In smaller countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland and the Czech Republic, the reduction in the number of new infections is large, writes Bloomberg.
According to Johns Hopkins University According to the data, Belgium topped the statistics with around 29,000 new cases on October 31, and on November 11 there were just under 8,000 new cases.
Ireland recorded 240 new cases of infection in the last 24 hours, compared to more than 1,200 per day in mid-October.
Germany is also moving in the right direction, with a decline from more than 30,000 new cases per day in early November to around 22,000 on November 11. In between, infection rates have dropped to even much lower levels over a few days, a pattern seen in reports from several countries.
The curves of Great Britain and France have also sloped downward.
At the same time, the total number of infections in the world has continued to rise to record levels.
That curves flatten out in Europe is interpreted as if measures against the spread of infection might have worked.
There are reasons to be cautiously optimistic, according to Lothar Wieler, director of the German Institute for Infection Control Robert Koch.
– But we still do not know if it is a stable development, he says in a press conference broadcast on the Internet, according to Reuters.
