The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) considered this Thursday unjustified the mandatory screening of Covid-19 in the European Union for travelers from China, where infections have increased significantly.
The ECDC maintains in a statement that the countries of the European Union “have relatively high levels of immunization and vaccination” and that the variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus “circulating in China are already circulating in the European Union.”
For the ECDC, “potential infections” that could be imported are “quite small” compared to the number of cases that circulate daily, and health systems “are now capable of managing” the disease.
