The pandemic explodes in the Middle Kingdom. However, the outbreak of Covid-19 cases in China should not have a “significant” impact in Europe because the variants circulating there are already present on the Old Continent, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday ( WHO).
“The current rise in China is not expected to have a significant impact on the epidemiological situation of Covid-19 in the European region,” WHO Regional Director Hans Kluge told an online press conference, calling European countries to only take “proportionate and non-discriminatory” measures vis-à-vis travelers from China.
