Is Lockdown starting to work?

Most of the countries in our sample have shown an appreciable improvement in infection rate in the past week or more, although death ratess are still riising in many countries including the UK.

There have been some warnings that other indicators are not so encouraging but Lockdown News only uses the internationally accepted data published by ECDC.

The outlier in the infections picture is Spain, which was doing better than neighbours at the start of the current surge but is now seeing it’s own very high numbers.
