regionale Verbreitung


Definition from Robert Koch-Institut:
Die Belastung des Gesundheitswesens hängt maßgeblich von der regionalen Verbreitung der Infektion, den vorhandenen Kapazitäten und den eingeleiteten Gegenmaßnahmen (Isolierung, Quarantäne, physische Distanzierung) ab (...).

Example sentence(s):
  • Die Region wurde erstinfiziert durch einen sog. „Spreader“, der COVID-19 national oder international „importierte“. Von dort nimmt dann die regionale Verbreitung ihren Lauf. - geomarketing.de  
  • Diese Daten werden wissenschaftlich aufbereitet und fließen im Anschluss in eine Karte, welche die regionale Verbreitung potenziell Infizierter bis auf Ebene der Postleitzahl anzeigt. - egesundheit.nrw.de  
  • In dieser Karte der Rheinischen Post wird die regionale Verbreitung in NRW im Zeitablauf dargestellt. - netzwelt.de  

Explanation:
Statt "Verbreitung" ginge evtl. auch "Weiterverbreitung".
