Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | EUR CENTRE DIS PREVENTION & CONTROL | Source: | EUROSURVEILLANCE, 25 (13) , p. 13 -16 | Abstract: | European healthcare systems face extreme pressure from coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We relate country-specific accumulated COVID-19 deaths (intensity approach) and active COVID-19 cases (magnitude approach) to measures of healthcare system capacity: hospital beds, healthcare workers and healthcare expenditure. Modelled by the intensity approach with a composite measure for healthcare capacity, the countries experiencing the highest pressure on 25 March 2020 - relative to Italy on 11 March - were Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and France (www.covid-hcpressure.org). | Notes: | Verelst, F (reprint author), Univ Antwerp, Vaccine & Infect Dis Inst VAXINFECTIO, CHERMID, Antwerp, Belgium. frederik.verelst@uantwerp.be |
