ECDC uses data reported to the GISAID EpiCoV database and TheĮuropean Surveillance System (TESSy) to estimate the distribution ofĬirculating SARS-CoV-2 variants. Variant distributions and sequencing volumes, to align with the Operational considerations for respiratory virus surveillance in Europe, better describe the variant detection ability ofĬountries at current levels of sequencing, and include more data forĬapacity of sequencing or genotyping varies greatly across theĮU/EEA.

SARS-CoV-2 sequencing or genotyping for weeks 20–21 (15 May to 28 MayĢ023), the estimated distribution of variants of concern (VOC) or of No country is predicted to see increases in the number of reported cases, hospital admissions or deaths in the period up to 18 June, based on ensemble model forecasts.Īmong people aged 60 years and above, the cumulative uptake of aįirst booster was 84.9% (country range: 13.3–100.0%), and of a secondīooster was 35.6% (country range: 0.4–86.9%).Īmong the 15 countries reporting at least 10 results from Were 336 deaths reported from 20 countries, out of which one country Out of 15 countries with data on hospital or ICUĪdmissions/occupancy up to week 22, one reported an increasing trend inĪt least one of these indicators compared with the previous week. Recent increasing trends were reported by a small number ofĬountries. There is some variation in country-level trends across theĮU/EEA.

This is a continuation of the pattern observed in Trends were observed in EU/EEA indicators based on pooled country data

By the end of week 22 (ending 4 June 2023), decreasing or stable
