On Apr. 10, 2020, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) released updated COVID-19 predictions for deaths and hospital use, notably on ICU capacity for many countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), and model refinements.

Of countries with the highest reported or projected peak of daily COVID-19 deaths, three – Italy, Spain, and France – appeared to have potentially experienced their peaks. Across the US, several states with large COVID-19 epidemics earlier on may be nearing or have already reached their peaks.
