ERR News has rounded up the most important news and data about the coronavirus from the last week and put it in one place. We've also gone through the data and showed how the COVID-19 disease is spreading each week, rather than day-by-day.

This round-up is released every Monday, because the results for Sunday of the previous week are released on Monday morning, only making it possible to analyze the previous week's results after the data has been reported.

You can find the following graphs below:

• New cases by day for July 6-12;
• The total number of new cases diagnosed by week;
• New cases by county by week;
• New cases compared with deaths and hospital releases;
• Total number of positive and negative tests by week;
• Deaths by age group;
• Deaths by county.

The data has been taken from the Health Board (Terviseamet), and we downloaded it from koroonakaart.ee, which shows the data released each day in English, Russian and Estonian.

Our "Coronavirus in Estonia: All you need to know" guide also provides an overview of total cases by county, the daily rate of new cases, and includes a breakdown of all the restrictions so far. We update this page daily.

In the graphs below, you can add or take away data from the graphs by clicking the colored dots below. The data points are (mostly) dated with each Monday's date.

Overview

New cases by week: There were 21 new cases of coronavirus diagnosed last week, a significant increase from seven and six in the preceding weeks. The last time there were more than 10 cases in a single week was at the start of June.

The increase of new cases is mostly linked to two family groups, one in Tallinn and one in Narva-Jõesuu, the Health Board said. Outbreaks were detected after a birthday party was held and one of the participants, a lorry driver from Russia, was identified as the source. Several other infections were traced to be being spread in the workplace.

New cases by day for July 6-12: There were two days last week when eight new cases were diagnosed each day. All other days saw an infection rate of between two and zero. There have been no deaths since June 2.

New cases by county:  The majority of the cases were diagnosed in Harju County. There were 11 recorded in the county compared to two the week before.

Ida-Viru County had the second highest number of cases with seven. Last week the county reported three new infections, which was the highest in any country.

New cases were also recorded last week in Tartu, Järva and Lääne counties.

New cases, deaths and hospital releases: One person was released from hospital last week and there were no deaths. The number of patients currently receiving treatment in hospital is four.
