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 13-19;
• 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: Last week there were seven new cases of coronavirus diagnosed in Estonia, which is a similar rate to weeks at the start of July and the end of June. The previous week, 21 cases were diagnosed mostly in family groups, but no small outbreaks were detected last week.

However, the Health Board said on Wednesday more small outbreaks should be expected throughout the summer.

The infection rate is 1.9 per 100,000 the Health Board said on Wednesday.

Tartu and Pärnu countries both recorded one infection. The other three cases were diagnosed in people without information in the population register.
