Nobody knows what is round the corner, but letting fear rule your life is not a good thing. This is the ECDC's measured view:
In a statement, the ECDC said:
- High levels of Covid in China are anticipated given the country's low immunity and recent relaxation of its rules
- But higher immunity in the EU means a Covid surge in China is not expected to impact the bloc
- The Covid-19 variants circulating in China are already circulating in the EU
- Potential imported infections from China are "rather low" compared to the number of infections already occurring in the EU
- And citizens in the bloc have relatively high vaccination and immunisation
