ERR News has rounded up the most important news and data about the coronavirus in Estonia from the last week and put it in one place.

This round-up is usually published on Monday or Tuesday, 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:

• The total number of new cases diagnosed by week;
• New cases by day for May 31 - June 6;
• New cases by county by week;
• New cases compared with deaths and hospital releases;
• Total number of positive and negative tests by week;
• Deaths of covid-positive patients by week;
• Number of coronavirus vaccine doses administered in Estonia by week.

The data has been taken from the Health Board and Koroonakaart.

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

By week: There were 612 cases diagnosed last week compared to 876 the week before. This is the first time there have been fewer than 650 cases since the end of October.

The 14-day infection rate was 106.4 per 100,000 inhabitants on Tuesday (June 8) compared to 163.8 a week earlier.

By day: The highest number of cases on a single day was 130 and the lowest was 37. There were four days with fewer than 100 cases.
