The United Kingdom has the highest incidence of COVID-19 among European countries.
Portugal and Spain share the second and third highest COVID-19 incidence rates, according to a report conducted by the Group of Computational Biology and Complex Systems (BIOCOMSC) of the Physics Department of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC).
The UK recorded a rate of 194.6 per 100000 in the last two weeks, according to the report, while Portugal recorded 135.3 per 100000 cases.
Spain recorded 93.4 infections per 100,000 population over the last 14 days.
Cyprus also shows disturbing trends with a lower incidence rate, but the breeding rate of the virus in the country is 1.39 per 100,000 inhabitants.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has already warned the Covid crisis across Europe is “on thin ice” as the Delta variant spreads across the continent.
The Alpha variant struck the mainland hard this year and now the Delta variant, 40 to 60 per cent more communicable, is now affecting the region.
Different countries are trying to deal with the delta threat differently, but many experts think it could disrupt plans to lift restrictions during the summer.
In the last seven days, a total of 55,991 Covid deaths were recorded around the world according to the WHO.
Of those deaths, 6,593 were reported across Europe.

The EU recognised vaccines include AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer & BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson.
According to Reuters, countries, including Germany, Greece and Spain, have already put in place the “EU digital Covid certificate” before it comes into effect.
These developments came as all of Italy became mask-free outdoors in “low-risk” zones which marks a dramatic milestone for the country.
