ECDC updated the epidemiological index (June 3, 2021): The Netherlands, Sweden, Latvia could be on the yellow list; Croatia, Cyprus, Turkey, Switzerland could go green
European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reports an index calculated for 14 days each week. For example today, June 3, 2021, the list with the epidemiological index reported for the period May 17 - May 30, 2021 was published.
As of May 14, the National Committee for Emergency Situations has changed the classification of states. The cumulative incidence rate at 14 days is taken into account, thus resulting in 3 categories: green, yellow and red. We also call it Romania's traffic light list. The incidence rate is also calculated following the epidemiological index reported by ECDC.
In this context, if the Romanian authorities update the traffic light list, we will have some very important changes. The Netherlands, Sweden, Latvia could go on the yellow list, and Croatia, Cyprus, Turkey, Switzerland could go on the green list. France most likely remains on the red list due to non-compliant reporting. India and the United Kingdom remain on the red list due to new coronavirus strains.
ECDC updated the epidemiological index, and we calculated the incidence rate
ECDC report published on Thursday, June 3, for the period 17.05 - 30.05.2021. CAREFUL!!! These are not the official lists established by the Romanian authorities. We are waiting with interest for CNSU to officially update the lists according to the new established criteria.
The classification of countries / territories of epidemiological risk, according to the cumulative incidence rate at 14 days, is performed in 3 categories as follows:
- Green area - where the cumulative incidence rate of new cases of illness in the last 14 days per 1.000 inhabitants is less than or equal to 1,5;
- Yellow Zone - where the cumulative incidence rate of new cases of illness in the last 14 days per 1.000 inhabitants is between 1,5 and 3 per 1.000 inhabitants;
- The Red Zone - where the cumulative incidence rate of new cases of illness in the last 14 days in relation to 1.000 inhabitants is greater than or equal to 3 per 1000 inhabitants.
- The classification from the yellow or green zone to the red zone, as well as the classification from the green zone to the yellow zone, enters into force within 24 hours from the approval of the List of countries / territories of epidemiological risk by decision of the National Committee for Emergency Situations.
- The classification from the red zone to the green or yellow zone, as well as the classification from the yellow zone to the green zone, enters into force on the date of approval of the List of countries / territories of epidemiological risk by decision of the National Committee for Emergency Situations.
Hello,
It seems outrageous to me that for two weeks now, due to mistakes, France has been on the red list. I think it is almost the only country in the EU that has remained in the red zone and not because the cases there have not dropped dramatically, but because there are still errors in the calculation or as they say in the reports. It seems to me an unjustified discrimination, especially because France has been kept on the quarantine list for almost half a year. Can't an exception be made?
We still don't know if this week. We anticipate that it will remain red. But just as well, CNSU can make another decision.
