No, problem magnified, since a stricken traveler who does not seek medical attention will likely be missed by community health surveillance systems, and may even place others at risk of infection. Now, if an EU government wants to issue a blanket guarantee that any tourist who gets ill with Coronavirus while traveling will have all medical and extended lodging expenses covered, then and only then are we talking serious risk mitigation that makes planning a visit acceptable.
