With Covid-19 cases on the up, Brussels and Flanders are on high alert and have been colour-coded dark red on the ECDC Covid-19 map.
Every Thursday, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) publishes a European map based on the incidence over 14 days weighted by each region's vaccination coverage.
Four colours indicate the severity of the epidemiological situation: green, orange, red, and dark red. Some areas are also displayed in dark gray, when the test rate is insufficient, or in light gray, indicating a lack of data.
