PANDEMRIC

examines the benefits of euregional cooperation in the event of a pandemic or large-scale outbreak of an infectious disease.

PANDEMRIC is an amalgamation of the words pandemic and EMRIC. PANDEMRIC supports EMRIC in its work during the COVID crisis.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak it soon became clear that crisis policy was often implemented at national level. Existing euregional networks were more or less overruled. Discoordination between the countries caused numerous bottlenecks in the border regions, which proved detrimental for citizens in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (EMR). PANDEMRIC therefore focuses on promoting euregional cooperation in the event of a pandemic or large-scale outbreak of an infectious disease.

The Euregional early-warning and monitoring dashboard shows the shows the number of infections, hospital and ICU admissions, vaccinations, etc. in the regions of the EMR. The information has been automatically retrieved from the official open data of Sciensano, RIVM and RKI. The information regarding the hospital capacity is retrieved from DIVI IntensivRegister, Sciensano and LCPS.

Please be aware that not all data is provided daily and that most data concerning yesterday.
