The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 7.02 million deaths as of January 2024 and profoundly affected most countries’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Here, we study the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, mortality, and economic output between January 2020 and December 2022 across 25 European countries.
