The Research Luxembourg COVID-19 Task Force has predicted a peak in coronavirus cases in the Grand Duchy in mid-November.
In their recent publication on the second wave of COVID-19 infections in Luxembourg, the researchers stated that an "analysis of daily new cases and corresponding projections by curve fitting [...] exhibits an increasing exponential behaviour".
The task force also provided its mid-term projection: if cases continue to rise at the current rate, they could reach a maximum of around 1,400 per day by mid-November.
The researchers concluded that "mitigation of the epidemic wave can now only be achieved by a common social effort in reducing physical interactions, respecting hygiene measures and active participation in large-scale testing".
Nevertheless, Research Luxembourg published its findings ahead of the introduction of the latest government measures, announced on Friday afternoon.
