Multi-sector How are searches for Covid-19 changing in Europe?
Google search interest tracks "top-of-mind" awareness of Covid-19 in different countries.
- Search activity in Europe peaked in mid-March. At that time, the UK was amongst the top-ranked countries in Europe in terms of Covid-19 search. The Netherlands and Austria were low-ranked.
- Interest has since fallen as the number of new cases has declined, though the ranking of the countries examined has stayed the same.
