COVID-19 situation update for the EU/EEA and the UK, as of 21 November 2020

Epidemiological update

ECDC will switch to a weekly reporting schedule for the COVID-19 situation worldwide and in the EU/EEA and the UK from December this year. All daily updates will be discontinued from then. Additional details about the implementation of this change will be communicated on this website in due course.

The data presented on this page has been collected between 6:00 and 10:00 CET

Disclaimer: National updates are published at different times and in different time zones. This, and the time ECDC needs to process these data, may lead to discrepancies between the national numbers and the numbers published by ECDC. Users are advised to use all data with caution and awareness of their limitations. Data are subject to retrospective corrections; corrected datasets are released as soon as processing of updated national data has been completed.

As of 21 November 2020, 288 444 deaths have been reported in the EU/EEA and the UK: United Kingdom (54 286), Italy (48 569), France (48 265), Spain (42 619), Belgium (15 352), Germany (13 884), Poland (12 714), Romania (9 756), Netherlands (8 810), Czechia (7 021), Sweden (6 406), Portugal (3 762), Hungary (3 689), Bulgaria (2 778), Austria (2 097), Ireland (2 018), Greece (1 419), Croatia (1 257), Denmark (778), Slovenia (644), Slovakia (614), Finland (375), Lithuania (357), Norway (306), Luxembourg (254), Latvia (146), Malta (104), Estonia (87), Cyprus (43), Iceland (26) and Liechtenstein (8).

*United Kingdom: from 3 October 2020, due to a technical issue, COVID-19 cases from 24 September to 1 October will be reported by British authorities in the coming days.

On 2 October 2020, authorities in Ireland retrocorrected the total number of COVID-19 deaths leading to a negative value for the deaths reported on 3 October 2020.

From end of August 2020, Swedish authorities are performing daily data consolidation leading to data retro-corrections. From week 38, the Swedish Public Health Agency will update COVID-19 daily data four times per week on Tuesday–Friday. Hence, the cumulative figures and related outputs include cases and deaths from the previous 14 days with available data at the time of data collection.

As of 24 August 2020, Authorities in Luxembourg report COVID-19 cases and deaths from their resident population only. Therefore, the difference with the figure from 27 August is translated into a negative value for the cases and deaths reported on 28 August 2020
