European Union
Last night European leaders met for an informal video conference to discuss a coordinated approach towards the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. They discussed three main pillars 👇
1. Testing, tracing and quarantine
📌 A common Passenger Locator Form (PLF) until the end of the year
📌 Corona warning apps shall be linked and become interoperable
📌 a common approach to the mutual recognition, deployment and use of rapid tests
📌 harmonising the duration of quarantines
2. Vaccines
📌 fair distribution to member states
📌 criteria to determine priority groups
📌 logistical challenges and bottlenecks
📌 communication on vaccines to counter disinformation
3. Economic Recovery
📌 implementing the recovery package without further delay is crucial
