Novel coronavirus pneumonia cases have been recorded in the European region (from the Atlantic coast to Azerbaijan and 52 countries and regions in Russia) in the past two years, the report said. Among the confirmed cases in Europe, more than 4.9 million cases have been reported in the past seven days alone, and 17 of the 52 countries and regions have broken the previous record of the highest confirmed cases in a week.
In the past week, France alone has reported more than 1 million confirmed cases, equivalent to 10% of the total reported confirmed cases since the outbreak.
According to the data, the countries with the highest number of infections per 100000 residents in the world are located in Europe, with 2045 infections per 100000 people in Denmark, followed by Cyprus (1969) and Ireland (1964).
However, the report points out that the number of deaths due to infection with new crowns in Europe is decreasing. In the past week, an average of 3413 people in Europe died of the new crown every day, but it was down 7% from the previous week. At the worst of January last year, an average of 5735 people died every day in Europe due to the new crown.

Globally, the two data are 49% and 58% respectively.
